Elize's dossier sent to prosecutor

JAKARTA (JP): City police submitted on Thursday the dossiers
on bomb suspects Elize Maria Tuwahatu and her mother Sonya to the
Jakarta Prosecutor's Office.

City police spokesman Sr. Comr. Anton Bahrul Alam said Elize
would be charged with possessing three bombs, while her mother
would be charged with assisting her in the commission of a crime.

"We (the police) think that we have enough evidence and
witnesses to charge Elize and her mother," Anton told reporters
at his office.

He stated that Elize would be charged with violating Emergency
Law No. 12/1951 on explosives which carries a maximum penalty of
death.

He said that for the time being Elize and her mother were
being detained in the city police lockup.

"We will hand over the suspects and the evidence to the
prosecutors after they decide that the dossiers are complete," he
added.

The 33-year-old Elize was caught red-handed on Jan. 19 with
the three bombs at the Beautiful Indonesia in Miniature theme
park (TMII) in East Jakarta. Police also arrested Elize's mother
at her house on Jl. Suwiryo, Menteng, Central Jakarta for
knowingly allowing the bombs to be stored in the house.

Elize claimed that the bombs were given to her by former
president Soeharto's fugitive son Hutomo "Tommy" Mandala Putra
four days before she was arrested. (jun)
