Johar Baru Police Chief Comr. Theresia Mastail said Saturday the police would search the clinic this afternoon after finding five embryos at the the same clinic yesterday.
“We suspect more embryos are buried around the clinic,” she said.
Tomy, a neighbourhood leader in Johar Baru, said the clinic had been operational since 1999 and was near her home.
“Residents have known about the operations at this clinic for a long time,” he said.
On Thursday, the police arrested the clinic owner Atun along with a doctor, employees and patients.
Atun said she had received an operational permit from a doctor and had been charging each patient between Rp 100,000 (US$8.30) and Rp 600,000. (ewd)
