Police struggle to find Novel's attackers
Jakarta Post - June 27, 2017
The admission comes just one week after police announced they would make a sketch of Novel's attackers based on testimony from eyewitnesses.
National Police deputy chief Comr. Gen. Syafruddin said police had yet to find any indications of potential suspects despite the nearly three-month-long investigation and the questioning of dozens of witnesses.
Syafuruddin said investigators were facing difficulties in tracing the identities of the attackers.
"No significant progress [on potential suspects in the case has been achieved] as of today. We are facing numerous problems," Syafruddin recently told The Jakarta Post at the Presidential Palace, without specifying.
In a recent interview with TIME magazine, Novel claimed he had received information that "a police general – a high-level police official – was involved" in the attack on him.
Novel made the response in an apparent move to express his disappointment over police's sluggish handling of his case. Novel, himself a former police investigator, is currently undergoing treatment on his left eye in Singapore. (ary)
