Beautician's lawyers want quick trial

JAKARTA: Defense lawyers for HJT, a beauty parlor owner who
allegedly caused the death of a customer by injecting her with
too much collagen, decided on Wednesday not to deliver a response
to the prosecution indictment in the case.

"We have no complaints about the indictment. Moreover, we want
a quick trial," said Donald Pangaribuan at the West Jakarta
District Court.

Prosecutor Resni Muchtar charged the suspect under the Public
Health Law and the Criminal Code.

If found guilty, the suspect could face a maximum sentence of
five years in prison.

On July 20, Hilda Pasman who was on vacation from her school
in the Netherlands, came to the beauty parlor for collagen
injections to enlarge her breasts. She died several hours later.

Presiding judge Pasaribu adjourned the trial until Tuesday. --
