JAKARTA: Indonesia is considering microchipping convicted child rapists after the brutal gang rape and murder of a schoolgirl sparked demands for tougher punishments, authorities said Friday.

The 14-year-old girl was set upon by a gang of drunken men and boys as she walked home from school on the western island of Sumatra.
