Officers under investigation

YOGYAKARTA: Yogyakarta Police chief Lt. Col. Bani Siswono
admitted yesterday that two of his subordinates were currently
under investigation for allegedly shooting at students here in
May using live bullets.

"We are investigating two police officers, one a chief
sergeant and another a second lieutenant," he said.

It is suspected that bullets removed from the legs of Pito
Sadoni, a high school student, and Joner Damanik, a university
student, belong to the officers, he said.

Bani promised stern measures would be taken against his errant
subordinates.

Both Pito and Jones were shot and wounded on May 10 during a
