Police on Friday shot dead a second man suspected of involvement in an attack on police officers conducting a raid of the house of an alleged drug dealer in East Jakarta on Monday. The day before, police had shot the alleged leader of the attack.
The suspect, identified only as R, was killed during a raid on Jl. Narada in Johar Baru, Central Jakarta, according to Central Jakarta Police chief Sr. Comr. Hendro Pandowo.
'The suspect is one of the attackers of First Brig. Taufik,' Hendro said, referring to a police officer found dead in a river after the raid on Monday as reported by kompas.com.
During the incident, Taufik and a police informant were forced to jump into the Ciliwung River after being cornered by a group of armed people.
Hendro said that the raid on Friday was jointly implemented by Central and East Jakarta Police officers as part of efforts to hunt down 12 suspected attackers.
On Thursday, the police shot dead a man suspected of having commanded the attack against police officers. Ade Friyoza Wijaya aka Ade Badak was shot dead as he tried to evade arrest in the Cawang area of East Jakarta on Thursday evening, according to a police officer.
Seven others were arrested on Thursday after hundreds of police officers and military personnel raided the area, known as Berlan. (bbn)
