Police chief pledges good jobs
JAKARTA (JP): National Police Chief Gen. Banurusman
Astrosemitro pledged yesterday to continue the intensive
investigation on unsolved cases.
"It's absolutely correct that police still have lots of
homework to do, but we never intend to just do nothing, nor to
close any of the cases," the four-star general told reporters
after receiving 27 model drivers of public transit vehicles at
his office yesterday.
Banurusman said the police are working hard to solve the cases
as soon as possible.
"We pledge to keep on hunting all the suspects to settle the
debt that we owe," he said.
Among unsolved crimes in the city over the past three years
are the killing of 23-year-old servant Djasman in September,
1993, the brutal murder of six members of the Hutagalung family
in Bekasi and the mysterious death of a young businessman at the
residence of actress Ria Irawan in January last year, and the
murder of the six-year-old Levina Dwisy, who was found dead near
her bicycle in Ancol dreamland in North Jakarta in March last
year.
Others include the investigation of the ring leader in the
killing of entertainment businessman Nyo Beng Seng, who was
brutally stabbed in April last year in North Jakarta, the killing
of prominent ex-con, Johny Sembiring, who was also a noted figure
in the city's debt collector circles, in August last year, the
mysterious death of Themanto, 19, a new recruit of the student
regiment at the privately-owned Tarumanegara University, early
this year in West Jakarta and the killing of a physician whose
body was found in a bathroom at the Hero Green Garden supermarket
in Kedoya, West Jakarta, on May 26 this year.
All were headline stories in most local newspapers.
"All of the cases, including the case of Marsinah, for
instance, have not been closed yet," Banurusman reiterated.
Early this month, the City Police received a rare award from
President Soeharto for their recent success in identifying and
apprehending the suspects in the Bekasi gang rape. (bsr)
