Two police assistants wanted for rape

Police have launched a manhunt for two Central Jakarta civilian
police assistants after the alleged rape of a girl at the Central
Jakarta Mayoralty Office on Jl. Tanah Abang I, Central Jakarta
early Friday morning.

Central Jakarta Police unit chief First Insp. Lilik Haryati
said Saturday that police were still hunting the suspects, known
only by their initials, Al and Wr, after a 20-year-old woman from
Bogor alleged she had been raped in two separate attacks.

Lilik said the woman was waiting for friends at Gambir Railway
Station about 3 a.m. when she was arrested by four civilian
police assistants on suspicion of being a prostitute. They took
her to the Central Jakarta Mayoralty Office.

Al allegedly raped her before releasing her at the National
Monument (Monas) in Central Jakarta.

However, at Monas, Al's friend, Wr, came and brought Nona back
to the office, where she was raped for the second time.

Wr released Nona at Senen in Central Jakarta and gave her Rp
10,000 (US$1) to go home.

Nona reported the incident to police on Friday evening.--JP
