The officer, who asked for anonymity, said several police
\ndetectives stormed on Monday night a house at Gang Ubung Sari on
\nJl. Cokroaminoto, where Ketut Darmana, Made Gunawan and
\nSupriyatna had been holding Suyatno and his son Rizki since the
\nafternoon.<\/p>\n
\"Suyatno, who had a broken nose and bruises on his face and
\nbody, and his son Rizki were found locked in one room of the
\nhouse. Rizki was not physically harmed,\" the officer said.<\/p>\n
Denpasar Police chief of detectives Adj. Comr. Cahyo Budi
\nSiswanto confirmed the release of the hostages on Tuesday, saying
\nthat Suyatno, his wife Nurhaeni and Rizki were kidnapped on
\nMonday afternoon from their residence on Jl. Blambangan in
\nTabanan, some 14 kilometers west of here.<\/p>\n
They were taken to Denpasar in a jeep, with Suyatnbo and
\nNurhaeni being physically assaulted by the kidnappers during the
\ntrip.<\/p>\n
According to Cahyo, a business dispute was behind the
\nabductions.<\/p>\n
\"On March 4, Nurhaeni bought some cloth from Darmana for about
\nRp 6 million. She made a down payment of Rp 500,000 but she
\nfailed to pay the rest of the money on time. Darmana, who several
\ntimes attempted and failed to get the money from Nurhaeni, then
\ndecided to teach the woman a lesson,\" said Cahyo.<\/p>\n
The kidnappers, however, released her in Denpasar after she
\npromised to secure the money and pay Darmana.<\/p>\n
She immediately went to the police after being released and
\nnotified them of the kidnapping. (zen)<\/p>",
