19 ABRI members go to trial Saturday

JAKARTA (JP): Nineteen military personnel suspected of
involvement in the fatal shooting of four Trisakti University
students will be brought before a military tribunal on June 6, an
official said yesterday.

Head of the Jakarta Military Police, Col. Hendardji, told the
media that defendants were being detained at Jakarta Military
Police Headquarters in Guntur, South Jakarta, for further
investigation.

"They are all being processed according to existing rules," he
said, asking reporters stop bothering him.

"I'm tired... don't chase after me about this, please," he
said, refusing to identify the names and units of the suspects.

A reliable source told The Jakarta Post yesterday that all the
bullets used in the killings had a diameter of five millimeters.

Armed Forces (ABRI) spokesman Brig. Gen. A. Wahab Mokodongan
said recently that the 19 included nine low-and middle-ranking
officers, six noncommissioned officers and four privates.
