A victim of Thursday's terrorist attack,43-year-old Sugito, who the police initially suspected was an attacker, has succumbed to injuries sustained in a bomb explosion, the police have confirmed.
'Sugito got hit when a bomb went off near a police post,' Jakarta Police spokesman Col. Muhammad Iqbal told thejakartapost.com on Monday, adding that based on CCTV recordings, after the explosion at Starbucks, civilians, including Sugito, ran to a police post on Jl. MH Thamrin in Central Jakarta.
However, an explosion took place at the post when Sugito reached it.
Hours after the attack, police wrongly identified Sugito as one of suspected attackers, together with Muhammad Ali, Dian Joni, Afif alias Sunakin and Ahmad Muhazan.
The police admitted on Sunday that they had wrongly identified Sugito and that he was a victim in the attack.
'We suspected that Sugito was a terrorist because there is a man named Sugito in the terrorist network.,' Iqbal said.
According to the police, a witness had also seen Sugito walk alongside suspected terrorist Dian Joni before he was killed. (bbn)(+)
