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.

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.

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