MEDAN (The Jakarta Post/Asia News Network): The North Sumatra Police are set to conduct forensic examinations of the remains of three people who are believed to have died after being tortured in iron-barred rooms at the house of graft suspect and inactive Langkat regent Terbit Rencana Parangin Angin, as authorities step up their investigation into the case.
The move came after the police and the National Commission on Human Rights (Komnas HAM) received information that fatal physical abuse had been inflicted on people who were kept in the cages.
