Robbers sentenced to lengthy jail terms

BOGOR: Two of five robbers who shot and killed a police
officer and a security guard during a botched robbery near Bogor
last year have been sentenced to lengthy jail terms.

The Bogor District Court sentenced on Wednesday Antono Dwi
Hendaryanto to 15-years jail and Tugiyanto to 14-years jail after
the pair were found guilty of charges stemming from the PT Great
River Garments robbery.

The prison sentences were lighter than the prosecutor's demand
of 20-year jail terms.

On Monday, the court sentenced Yustinus Lelatobur and Deden
Sunarya to 13-years jail and Adi Setio Sukamto to three-years
jail for their parts in the robbery.

Presiding judge Hamala B. Simatupang said the defendants had
claimed the lives of police officer, Brig. Sudiran, and security
officer, Edi Supriatna, who were shot dead during the robbery on
Jl. Raya Bogor Simpang Pomad, Kedunghalang Ciluar subdistrict,
Bogor regency, on Aug. 31, 2001. -- JP
