Officer to be tried over wrongful shooting<\/p>\n
JAKARTA (JP): A court-martial is awaiting a police officer who
\nwrongfully shot an innocent man to death on Jl. Raya Semanan in
\nKalideres, West Jakarta, last Wednesday.<\/p>\n
City Police spokesman Sr. Comr. Anton Bahrul Alam said on
\nWednesday that internal affairs investigating the shooting had
\nconcluded that Brig. Pambudi, an officer of the West Jakarta
\nPolice SWAT team, had wrongfully shot Cengkareng resident
\nYudianto, 31, in the back of the head.<\/p>\n
\"Yudianto was not the bank robber that West Jakarta Police was
\nlooking for. As a City Police spokesman, I convey my sincere
\napologies and condolences to Yudianto's family,\" Anton told
\nreporters at City Police headquarters on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
\"All necessary action will be taken towards Brig. Pambudi, and
\nBrig. Taufik, the second officer who is being questioned over the
\ncase. Taufik was present at the crime scene as well.\"<\/p>\n
Anton's statement however left many alarming questions
\nunanswered over what really happened at 4 a.m. on Feb. 28, and
\nwhy Yudianto was gunned down.<\/p>\n
Anton failed to answer why Yudianto was shot in the head,
\ninstead of the leg, as police procedures dictate, and why his
\nbody was badly bruised and beaten at the time of his death, as
\nwitnesses saw that prior to Yudianto's body being driven to the
\nNational Police's Kramat Jati Hospital following the shooting,
\nthere were no bruises on his body.<\/p>\n
The spokesman identified the arrested and suspected bank
\nrobber as Ashari, 32, who allegedly pointed out Yudianto as one
\nof his robber mates, to the police, which ultimately led to the
\nshooting.<\/p>\n
In the dossiers, Ashari said he saw Pambudi shot Yudianto
\ntwice from close range, even though the latter never once laid a
\nhand at the officer.<\/p>\n
Ashari admitted to have robbed a bank customer on Feb. 15 on
\nJl. Raya Ciputat in South Jakarta of Rp 74 million along with his
\nfive friends before West Jakarta Police detectives arrested him
\nat his rented residence on Jl. Abdul Wahab in Cengkareng, West
\nJakarta, at 1 a.m. on Feb. 28.<\/p>\n
That day, Ashari said, six detectives put him into a blue
\nToyota Kijang van and asked him to show them the residences of
\nhis five other bank robber friends, including Robby's, who were
\ntheir next target. (ylt)<\/p>",
