Sons believe culprit in father's murder with him moments before<\/p>\n
JAKARTA (JP): The children of the victim of a gangland-style
\nslaying last week are convinced that their father's death was a
\ncarefully plotted operation.<\/p>\n
Adnan, 30, told The Jakarta Post in an interview that his
\nfather Nyo Beng Seng, who was reputed to have triad connections,
\nwas watched by an accomplice of his assailants in Mangga Besar
\nbefore he headed home to Pluit, where he was killed.<\/p>\n
Adnan, accompanied by two of his three brothers during the
\ninterview, declined to name who was behind the killing.<\/p>\n
When asked about the two men named by their father as his
\nkillers before he died, while admitting they know them, Beng
\nSeng's children declined to comment.<\/p>\n
\"I'm afraid to say anything about them because I'm still
\nemotional,\" said Andy, 34, Adnan's brother. Beng Seng told Tuti
\nminutes before he died that the plotters of his murder were Hong
\nLie and A Lay.<\/p>\n
The police said yesterday that A Lay flew in to Jakarta on
\nWednesday from Singapore to explain his position at Penjaringan
\npolice subprecinct.<\/p>\n
Accompanied by his lawyer O.C. Kaligis, A Lay told officers
\nthat he had nothing to do with the murder.<\/p>\n
A Lay has also sent a letter to the National Police Chief
\nresponding to a mysterious letter by one Adi Suprianto accusing
\nhim of having a part in the murder.<\/p>\n
The victim was getting out of his car when one of the
\nassassins hacked him on the back of the head with a samurai-like
\nsword.<\/p>\n
Saman, Beng Seng's driver, later told the police that he drove
\nhis employer home from a place on Jl. Mangga Besar VIII at about
\n1:30 a.m.<\/p>\n
Adnan believes that after his father left Mangga Besar, from a
\nplace known to be an illegal gambling den, the plotter gave the
\nexecution order via handphone to his hit men.<\/p>\n
A Lay has said he could not be this man, because at the time
\nof the killing, he was on Jl. Mangga Besar XIII, about one
\nkilometer from Jl. Mangga Besar VIII.<\/p>\n
\"If someone didn't inform the hit men at the murder scene, how
\ncould they have known that my father was in the car, which had
\nearlier brought Ibu Tuti (Beng Seng's second wife) there?\" Adnan
\nsaid.<\/p>\n
Adnan quoted the driver Saman and Tuti as saying that before
\npicking up Beng Seng, Saman drove her home with the same car at
\naround 1 a.m. from a \"place where she had supper\".<\/p>\n
\"If there was no phone call from the place in Mangga Besar,
\nthe masked people might have killed the wrong person,\" Adnan
\nsaid.<\/p>\n
The gambling den is just about 400 meters from Anita's
\nresidence.<\/p>\n
Murder Attempt<\/p>\n
Beng Seng, alias Darmansyah Suyadi, 57, died from severe stab
\nwounds at around 2:00 a.m. on April 15. His assailants were four
\nmasked people in the yard of his second wife's house on Jl. Pluit
\nKencana Raya 128, North Jakarta.<\/p>\n
According to Adnan, there has also been a murder attempt on
\nthe family, saying that a week after the killing, a man entered
\nAnita's house and tried to kill him and his relatives. The man,
\nwho was holding a sickle, ran away in a chauffeured car, he said.<\/p>\n
Adnan used this to support his reluctance to name names. \"If I
\nname the suspects, while our suspicions could be baseless, our
\nlives could be in danger.\"<\/p>\n
The three brothers said they want to uncover the plot.<\/p>\n
\"What we are doing now is just trying to protect ourselves,\"
\nAdnan said.<\/p>\n
Last Monday, Anita received a phone call from a man, who
\ncalled himself a close friend of Beng Seng's informing her of the
\nnames and addresses of the alleged killers. The caller also asked
\nher to pass the information on to the police.<\/p>\n
City Police spokesman Lt. Col. A. Latief Rabar yesterday
\nrefused to comment on either A Lay's questioning or recent
\ndevelopments in his department's investigation. (bsr)<\/p>",
