Suspected robber shot four times

JAKARTA (JP): Morgue attendants were surprised on Sunday when
they received the corpse of a suspected robber, allegedly shot to
death by East Jakarta Police, with a total of four gunshot wounds
to his body.

"The man was shot in the left side of the chest, the right
shoulder, the stomach and the forehead... we don't understand
these bullet wounds ourselves. It takes only one to kill a man,"
Pandji, a morgue attendant at the Cipto Mangunkusumo General
Hospital, told The Jakarta Post.

Panji identified the dead man as Alsumri, 32, who was
unemployed and lived in Jembatan subdistrict, Cipinang Besar
Selatan district, East Jakarta.

The corpse reached the morgue at about 4 a.m. on Sunday,
Pandji said.

Jakarta Police records have Alsumri on the wanted list issued
by the East Jakarta Police for violent robbery and auto theft.

"He was shot to death at about 3 a.m. on Sunday by police
detectives who were hot on his heels," Roni, an officer with the
Jakarta Police Information Center, told reporters.

However, no East Jakarta Police officers were available for
comment on the matter. (ylt)
