Anonymous letter leads to arrests

JAKARTA (JP): Bogor Police arrested five suspects for last
month's murder of a man after receiving an anonymous letter which
revealed the motive behind the killing, an officer said on
Friday.

Bogor Police chief Lt. Col. Ade Husen said the suspects
admitted their roles in the killing of Ade Supriatna.

Based on the suspects' preliminary testimony, police now are
looking for eight others suspects, Husen was quoted by Antara as
saying.

The arrested suspects were identified as Mujri, Adang, Manan,
Otang and Suhendar -- all in their 30s.

According to the suspects, the killing of Supriatna last month
was masterminded by Mujri, who was angry with the victim.

Mujri said Supriatna agreed to marry his sister-in-law but
failed to appear ahead of the wedding ceremony. The bride's
family already had sent out invitations and made other
preparations for the ceremony.

"Our family was very much embarrassed because of it," Mujri
said.

A week later, Supriatna informed Mujri's family that he needed
to talk with them.

Mujri then plotted to use the meeting to kill the man.

With the help of 12 accomplices, Mujri killed Supriatna in
Ciawi and dumped his body in Parung.

Police said they did not know who sent the letter which led to
the arrests. (jun)
