Suspects in Bekasi gang rape identified<\/p>\n
JAKARTA (JP): Bekasi police claim that they have identified
\nthe men believed to have raped a mother and her two teenage
\ndaughters during a pre-dawn burglary on Monday in the small,
\nisolated village of Kampung Cimatis, Jati Karya, in Pondok Gede.<\/p>\n
The incident took place at around 3:30 a.m. on Monday at the
\nhouse of Acan, 45, in the Pondok Gede district of Bekasi, 30
\nkilometers east of Jakarta.<\/p>\n
Acan told police that about eight people armed with sharp
\nweapons broke into his house. However, before they broke into the
\nhouse, located near the Jagorawi toll road, they tied up Acan's
\n18-year-old son, Ali, and his four friends who were sleeping on
\nthe house veranda.<\/p>\n
Acan said he was also tied up later by the burglars in the
\nliving room.<\/p>\n
Failing to find any valuables in the house, Acan said the
\ngroup dragged Acan's wife, identified only as An, 43, to the
\nkitchen and took turns raping her.<\/p>\n
Later, the criminals raped both of Acan's daughters,
\nidentified only as Ng, 15, and Ac, 14, after dragging the junior
\nhigh school students into two different rooms.<\/p>\n
Acan told police that he saw at least six members of the group
\nenter the two rooms by turns.<\/p>\n
\"They are animals,\" the father of six children said in
\ndisgust.<\/p>\n
\"We have formed two teams to hunt the suspects, whose
\nidentities we have determined,\" Bekasi police chief Lt. Col. Hari
\nPribadi told reporters after attending a ceremony for the
\nestablishment of the city police health information center
\nyesterday.<\/p>\n
According to Hari, the suspects might be the same ones that
\nrobbed the house of the head of a nearby village about an hour
\nearlier.<\/p>\n
\"But this time they might have missed their target because
\nthis is the family of a poor farmer,\" he said. \"They found
\nnothing valuable in the house and then decided to rape the
\nmembers of the family.\"<\/p>\n
Hari, however, refused to name any of the rapists, saying only
\nthat at least five are suspected to have been involved.<\/p>\n
Officer Hari said that the group managed only to steal two
\ngrams of gold jewelry from Acan's wife and three wristwatches
\nfrom their house, which is located away from the public housing
\ncomplexes.<\/p>\n
In January last year, a mother, her four children between
\nthree to 14-years-old, and the mother's sister were brutally
\nkilled in the same area by a single suspect, who is still at
\nlarge.(bsr)<\/p>",
