Yogyakarta gets new top cop after Cebongan killings

Yogyakarta’s new police chief is vowing to help the Indonesian Military (TNI) complete its investigation of the Special Forces (Kopassus) commandos who allegedly raided Cebongan prison and killed four detainees.
“I am obliged to use all of ability of the Yogyakarta Police has to solve the case. If needed, I will ask the National Police [Polri] for back up,” Yogyakarta Police chief Brig. Gen. Haka Astana said after his inauguration at National Police headquarters in South Jakarta.
He replaces Brig. Gen. Sabar Rahardjo, who will take Haka’s job leading the Strategic Studies Bureau at the National Police’s Human Resources Division.
Haka, who was born and raised in Yogyakarta, said that he would use a ‘cultural’ approach to deal with the street thugs, such as the slain detainees allegedly behind the murder of a Kopassus commando that led to the prison raid.
“I will use no other way but the cultural approach mandated by the sultan,” Haka said, referring to Yogyakarta Governor Sultan Hamengkubuwono X. (ebf) (Yuliasri Perdani, The Jakarta Post, Jakarta | National | Mon, April 08 2013, 3:27 PM)
