A angkot (public minivan) driver has been sentenced to 18 years in jail for the murder of two children and an adult in Makassar, South Sulawesi, in September 2011.
The Makassar District Court pronounced 28-year-old Petrus Lewek guilty on Tuesday of violating the Criminal Code, Article 340 on premeditated murder.
Judges also said that Petrus breached Article 80, Clause 2 of the Criminal Code on violence against children and Article 354, Clause 1 on public assault.
Petrus murdered Saldi, 12, Junaedi, 15, and Syamsul, 66, in front of Makassar Town Square. He was also suspected of assaulting several other Makassar Town Square visitors.
The murders were reportedly the result of suppressed anger after Petrus’ motorcycle was vandalized at Makassar Town Square two weeks before the murders, kompas.com reported on Wednesday.(png/iwa)
