C Sulawesi police ready to execute Tibo et al
Palu, Central Sulawesi (ANTARA News) - Central Sulawesi Police Chief Senior
Commissioner Badrootin Haiti said he was ready to carry out the execution of the
three Poso conflict death-row convicts, namely Fabianus Tibo, Dominggus da Silva
and Marinus Riwu.
"We have to be ready as the execution has been ordered by the law," he said on
Tuesday.
Badrootin is the new Central Sulawesi Police chief replacing Brig. Gen. Oegroseno.
He said he had yet to make a decision on when and where the execution would take
place as he had to coordinate it with the high prosecution office as the executor.
He had no idea on the letter from the provincial high prosecution office on the
execution.
"We (police) will decide the time and venue after the prosecution office orders the
execution. I will check first about the letter," he added.
He also refuted rumors saying the National Police Chief had issue a special order to
accelerate the execution.
"There is no such instruction. The execution has become the authority of the
high-prosecution office and the provincial police," he said.
Tibo, Dominggus and Marinus were previously scheduled to be executed last August
12. (*)
