Semarang gets new police chief

SEMARANG: Lt. Col Adang Rismanto, formerly chief of the South
Jakarta police precinct, is now in charge of the police precinct
in Semarang, replacing Col. Didi Widayadi.

When he served in South Jakarta, Adang was launched to
national fame with the adept and quick handling of the murder of
painter Abdullah Basuki last year. He was also in charge of the
investigation of the death of a young man at the house of starlet
Ria Irawan in Jakarta early this year.

Didi Widayadi has been promoted as chief of the Bandung
police.

The transfer of duty was carried out on Monday in a ceremony
presided by Central Java Police Chief Maj. Gen. Hariman A.S.
