Siswanto shows police five 'killing fields'

JAKARTA (JP): Siswanto, the alleged sodomizer and killer of 12
boys, has shown the police the five locations in Kemayoran,
Central Jakarta, where he said he had left the bodies of five of
his victims.

Central Jakarta Police Chief Lt. Col. Abubakar Nataprawira
said yesterday the police had asked Siswanto to show them the
scenes of the crimes on Wednesday night.

He took them to Kemayoran, where four of the eight bodies were
found.

The police are looking for at least four more bodies because
the suspect has admitted killing 12 boys.

Abubakar said the police will match the features of Rasyid,
one of the boys which Siswanto admitted killing, with a skeleton
found in March.

The police received two more reports of missing boys from
their parents on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Siswanto, a scavenger, admitted sodomizing and killing the
boys, Abdul Rasyid, 11, and Abdilla, 10. But their features have
not matched any of the eight bodies.

Rasyid's mother, Rokiyah, said her son had disappeared last
year. Witnesses saw Siswanto, her neighbor at Gaplok market,
Senen, picking up her son at his elementary school.

Skeleton

"If the skeleton matches the features of Rasyid, we only have
to search for Abdilla's body," he said.

Abdilla's father, Rahmat, reported to the police precinct on
Thursday that his son, a shoeshine boy in Senen market, Central
Jakarta, went missing on May 29.

The father fainted when Siswanto admitted killing his son,
after Rahmat showed him a picture of Abdilla.

Abubakar said he has yet to receive the results of the
suspect's psychiatric examination.

During a preliminary interrogation, Siswanto said he had once
been sodomized by his friend when he was 11, and several times
since by other older boys.

Central Jakarta police detectives apprehended Siswanto at a
railway station in Tegal, Central Java, on July 27. (jun)
