20 years sought for alleged killer

MEDAN, North Sumatra: Prosecutors are seeking 20 years in
prison for MH alias Ol, a 27-year-old man charged with killing
Henny Tiorida Silalahi.

Prosecutor Kadirun told a court trial, presided over by
Julizar, that the accused killed Henny, a 26-year-old student at
a local private university last year. The defendant did it with
three other men--known only as MDP, BH and HNS, who are also
being tried for the same crime.

A police investigation revealed that MH agreed to help kill
Henny at the request of MDP, Henny's teacher, who had been
involved in an affair with the student.

MDP, a married man, planned the murder out of fear that Henny
would reveal their two-year-old secret, Antara reported. (swe)
