TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Police presented one of the two sketches of the individuals allegedly to be responsible for the acid attack against Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) senior investigator Novel Baswedan.
Jakarta Police spokesperson Sr. Comr. Raden Prabowo Argo Yuwono said that the second sketch has not yet released to public since it has not been completed. The sketch of the second attacker needs to be confirmed with several witnesses.
The first sketch that was released two days ago, according to National Police Chief General Tito Karnavian, was based on testimonies provided by witnesses who saw the suspect before the attack took place.
“The person [in the first sketch] is allegedly the driver of the motorcycle used during the attack,” Tito said on Monday, July 31.
Authorities claim that it is a near-perfect sketch that resembles the actual suspect. Tito added that the Indonesian authorities worked together with the Australian authorities to produce the sketches using high-tech equipment.
