nvestigators from the Central Java Police general crimes investigation directorate have examined 35 witnesses in their investigation into the death of Mohammad Adam, a second-year student at the National Police Academy (Akpol) in Semarang, Central Java.
It is suspected that Mohammad was beaten to death.
Central Java Police chief Insp. Gen. Condro Kirono said on Friday that 21 out of the 35 witnesses questioned were second-year students while the other 14 were third-year students.
“We have carried out intensive interrogations since last night [Thursday evening]. We haven’t yet named any suspects,” he said as quoted by Antara in Semarang.
Adam was found dead early on Thursday. There is a possibility that more than one perpetrator participated in the possible murder of Adam.
Condro said the result of an autopsy performed on Adam’s body showed the police cadet had died of asphyxiation, caused by injuries to his lungs. The police have confiscated several pieces of evidence, including belts and small sticks, he added.(dis/ebf)
