Security guards named as suspects

BOGOR (JP): Five security guards at the Royal Sentul housing
complex here have been named as suspects following a clash on
Wednesday with residents of nearby Sumur Batu village in
Cibarengkok subdistrict, police said on Monday.

The chief of the Bogor Police, Lt. Col. Ade Husen Kartadipura,
identified the five suspects as Mathius Marten, 36, Charles
Matonari, 24, Ujang Syafei, 25, Abel Fatima, 26, and Kamsar, 33.

Ade said the number of suspects could increase because the
police were still conducting their investigation.

"The four were included in the 19 security guards we've
already questioned, and more guards will be questioned," Ade
said.

At least six of the villagers were injured, two of them
seriously, in Wednesday's clash with some 50 armed security
guards.

Police confiscated bricks, stones, sticks and sharp weapons
from the five suspects.

The clash broke out after residents accused the developer of
the housing complex of blocking the main access road to their
village.

The housing complex is owned by PT Royal Sentul Highlands.
Bambang Trihatmodjo, one of former president Soeharto's sons, is
president director of the company. (emf/24)
