Wrong man arrested for murder

PALU, Central Sulawesi: Fredy, a resident of Silanca
subdistrict, Lage district in Poso regency was arrested on Monday
by a joint team from the Indonesian Military (TNI) and the
police.

The team was scouring the forest surrounding the village after
a tip-off from local residents that a suspected rapist and
murderer of a Muslim resident of Poso in 2002 was in the area.

Head of the Sintuwu Maroso Operation task force, Sr. Comr.
Tatang Somantri, told The Jakarta Post on Tuesday, based on the
report, security personnel immediately combed the area and found
Fredy on a resident's farm.

However, the wrong man was arrested as the wanted man was
named Fendy, not Fredy. -- JP
