Former officials claim innocence
SURABAYA: Two former officials of East Java province are
denying involvement in the Marsinah murder case, saying they were
victims of misleading information.
The two officials, the province's former police chief Maj.
Gen. (ret.) Emon Rivai Arganata and former Brawijaya Military
Commander Maj. Gen. (ret) Haris Sudarno, both denied any
involvement in the 1993 murder.
"I never engineered the case," Emon told a team of the
Provincial Council investigating the case.
Haris supported Emon's statement, saying the military command
was just helping to investigate the murder of the wristwatch
company worker in Sidoarjo, East Java.
He acknowledged that no evidence could be found to implicate
the nine suspects who were investigated at the time. (nur/jun)
