he South Jakarta Police have named a worker at the Pasar Rumput low-cost apartment (Rusunawa) construction site a suspect of a fatal incident at the project site that resulted in the death of a middle-aged woman named Tarminah.
South Jakarta police chief Sr. Comr. Indra Jafar said the worker was named a suspect due to his negligence in carrying out his duty.
The suspect, however, has yet to be detained as the police are still carrying out further investigation of the case.
“He has not been detained, but he is charged under the Criminal Code (KUHP) on negligence resulting in death,” Indra said, as quoted by tribunnews.com. He added that 13 witnesses had been investigated by the police. Article 359 of the KUHP carries a maximum punishment of five years in prison.
Tarminah, 54, was killed on March 18 as she was struck in the head by an iron bar that fell from the unfinished apartment building. (vny)
