JAKARTA (The Jakarta Post/Asia News Network): The National Police have finally announced that their former internal affairs chief, Insp Gen Ferdy Sambo, allegedly masterminded the murder of his aide de camp, Brig. Nofriansyah Yosua Hutabarat, but questions remain over his reported motive.

The police are under pressure to be fully transparent in their investigation into the case following revelations that Ferdy and other police officials tampered with evidence in their attempt to cover up Yosua’s grisly killing, reportedly at Ferdy’s behest.
