Toll road robbery dossiers finished

BOGOR (JP): Dossiers on two men suspected of being in the 1996
fatal Jagorawi toll road robbery have been sent to the Bogor
District Court by the prosecutors' office.

A source at the prosecutors' office told The Jakarta Post
yesterday that the dossiers of Mikael and Hendrik were sent to
the court Tuesday.

The court, through its spokesman Usman Wahab, confirmed it
yesterday, saying the dossiers were received Wednesday.

The source at the prosecutors' office said the suspects would
be prosecuted by Razali Hanafiah, Yono Salim and Rachman Asbar.

The source said police had not yet completed the dossier on
another suspect, said to have masterminded the robbery in which a
private company employee, Zaenuddin Lesmana was killed.

Police said that in the October 11 robbery a Kijang van
intercepted Zaenuddin's car on the Jagorawi turnpike, and one of
three unidentified men jumped out of the van and shot Zaenuddin
dead. The robbers stole more than Rp 300 million from his car but
left his two passengers unhurt.

The two men were declared suspects after interrogation. One of
them, Tjetje Tadjudin died in police custody, and a police
officer, blamed for torturing him, was sacked.

Court officials said yesterday the case would be tried soon,
but they had no idea when. (24/sur)
