A COURT sentenced former police inspector-general Ferdy Sambo to death for the premeditated murder of his bodyguard, bringing to a close a high-profile scandal that has thrust the country’s police force into the spotlight over alleged impunity and corruption.
A murder case involving the top ranks of Indonesia’s police has resulted in the court handing a death sentence to a formerly high-ranking police officer.
The results of the second autopsy of Brig. Nopryansyah Yosua Hutabarat, who was reportedly killed in a shootout at the Jakarta residence of a high-ranking police official, will only be available in the next four to eight weeks, according to a team responsible for the process.
