The Jakarta Police say they will continue to search for American chiropractor Randal Cafferty, who has been accused of being responsible for the death of Allya Siska Nadya.

The police have accused Cafferty of malpractice in the death of Allya, who he had treated. '€œWe are trying to complete the investigation while we hunting for Randall,'€ the head of Jakarta Police'€™s general crimes division, Sr. Comr. Krishna Murti, said on Monday.

The immigration directorate general has stated that Cafferty is still in Indonesia even though his visa had expired.

'€œIf he is still in Indonesia, we will arrest him and take legal action against him,'€ Khrisna said, adding that Cafferty had violated four laws: the Immigration Law, the Health Law, the Health Worker Law and the Medical Practice Law.

The police declared Cafferty and Malaysian clinic owner Kan Wai Ming suspects last week. The police are still hunting for both. The autopsy found that Allya'€™s death was related to chiropractic manipulation as she had suffered internal bleeding in the upper neck area.

Should Cafferty already be in the US, the police will submit Cafferty'€™s investigation documents to US authorities and delve into what legal proceedings can be taken. Indonesia does not have an extradition treaty with the US. (bbn)
