493010marko! - exactly! What happend to that story? It just fell off the page. Did the driver go to court?
And what about the fellow watching porn in the House of Reps who said he would resign? Did he?
And how us that important grandaughter on the drug re-habiliation programe? What's her progress - and where is she now?
And of course there's the case of the 500,00+ 'communists' murdered in the 1960's? Any news of that investigation? I read somewhere that a nod is being made in that direction but with assureances that no one would be brought to justice.
And what about the 1998 rapes and murders? By all the street thugs with, it is said, the same haircuts as members of the police and military? Strange that.
There is no justice in this land because their is no rule of law. Judges, politicians and law enforcers are harlots who go with the highest bidder.
And there is no rule of law and respect for the law because there are too many uneducated people in this country.
Ignorance rules!
6 years maximum apparently. Whilst I disagree strongly with mob justice, perhaps it could prevail in her case.
Hasn't she heard of the word taxi, hope they throw the book at her.
But if your a rich kid drag racing your car and run over and kill a homeless person no charges will be laid. Also the newspaper will stop reporting on the case.
I wonder if she has any connections and wonder what the legal consequences for her will be...
A female driver who killed nine people when she drove into a group of pedestrians in Tugu Tani, Central Jakarta, has allegedly confessed to taking illegal narcotics before the horror accident on Sunday.
It has also been revealed driver Arfriani Susanti was driving without a valid license in an unregistered car.
Sr. Comr. Rikwanto, a Jakarta Police spokesman, said a sample of urine from Arfriani had tested positive for amphetamines.
The woman had confessed to taking the party drug ecstasy prior to the accident at 11 a.m. on Sunday.
There were also indications she had allegedly been drinking.
Rikwanto said police believe she had taken shabu-shabu, a local term for crystal methamphetamine.
She would face multiple charges, Rikwanto said.
Arfriani allegedly mowed down the group of pedestrians, killing nine — including a three-year-old boy — and injuring three others.
The woman and three passengers have been detained.
