President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono said on Tuesday that the brutal killing conducted by an armed group against four detainees in Cebongan Prison in Sleman, Yogyakarta, was a direct attack against the state authority.
“It not only resulted in a serious threat that affected the public’s feeling of safety; the attack also destroyed their trust in law supremacy in this republic,” said Yudhoyono as quoted by presidential advisor for political communication, Daniel Sparringa in Jakarta, today.
The Cebongan incident occurred early last Saturday morning — four suspects implicated in the murder of former Special Forces Command (Kopassus) member, First Sgt. Santoso, 31, — were shot dead while in custody. The victims were Angel Sahetapi (alias Deki), 31; Adrianus Candra Galaga (alias Dedi), 33; Gameliel Yermiayanto Rohi (alias Adi), 29; and Yohanes Yuan, 38.
President Yudhoyono ordered National Police (Polri) chief Gen. Timur Pradopo to thoroughly investigate the incident. The President also instructed TNI chief Admiral Agus Suhartono to order officials in his institution to cooperate with the investigation.
“The President urges all of society to support and guard the investigation process,” said Daniel as quoted by Antara news agency. (ebf)
