Kudos for Yogya's police

Kudos for Yogya's police

An important piece of news has come to us from Yogyakarta.
Yesterday (Wednesday), police released Dwi Sumadji, who was being
held as the sole suspect in the killing of Fuad Muhammad
Syafruddin (Udin). His release obviously comes as a relief to
many, and not only to his wife and family, who have so far
strongly protested his detention and denied allegations that he
was a murderer. Nor is Dwi's release being hailed only by Udin's
fellow journalists, who have never believed police charges that
Dwi was their colleague's murderer.

The news is being hailed by the Indonesian public in general,
who have faithfully followed developments concerning the Udin
murder case. To all of them, Dwi's release means the triumph of
justice, a turn of events that few people had believed could ever
become reality. To them, Dwi's release represents a step forward
taken by our police force, which had the courage to openly
correct what many parties regarded as a mistake.

All this, however, does not entirely relieve the police of the
Udin case. People now want to see this murder case solved once
and for all, including finding who was involved and what the
motives were. The public will certainly be glad to help the
police solve the case.
