Train crash suspects face possible 5-year sentence<\/p>\n
Theresia Sufa, The Jakarta Post, Bogor<\/p>\n
Two suspects in a weekend train collision that injured at least
\n46 people were charged under Article 360 of the Criminal Code,
\nBogor Police chief Adj. Sr. Comr. Bambang Sugeng said on Monday.<\/p>\n
The article stipulates that a person who causes severe injury
\nto others due to his or her negligence could be sentenced to a
\nmaximum of five years imprisonment.<\/p>\n
\"Currently we are investigating whether the action was
\ndeliberate or just the result of negligence,\" he said.<\/p>\n
The collision occurred on Saturday when commuter train No. 490
\ntraveling between Jakarta and Bogor smashed into the rear of
\ntrain No. 488, also on the same route.<\/p>\n
Witnesses said that suspect Darwin pulled the train's
\nemergency brake for no particular reason.<\/p>\n
Darwin, a resident of Tajur Halang subdistrict in Bogor, said
\nthat he did not intend to pull the brake cord and was shocked by
\nhis own action.<\/p>\n
Police also named Edi Siswanto, driver of train No. 490, as a
\nsuspect because he should have stopped the train when he saw the
\nred light blinking at the rear of train No. 488 in front of him
\nshortly after it stopped.<\/p>\n
Both suspects, who are being detained at the police station,
\nrefused to comment.<\/p>",
