JAKARTA - The Head of the Public Information Bureau (Karo Penmas) of the National Police's Public Relations Division, Brigadier General Rusdi Hartono, confirmed that the investigation into the alleged rape of three children in East Luwu, South Sulawesi, had been suspended according to procedures.

"Police work based on evidence, then investigators are independent. Once again, Polri works based on evidence and investigators are independent," said Rusdi, Sunday, October 10.

Reports of the rape of three minors allegedly carried out by the father of the womb went viral on social media after many parties urged that the case that had been terminated be reopened.

Now the National Police are responding to the East Luwu case which has attracted public attention, sending the Police Criminal Investigation Team Assistance Team to assist the East Luwu Police in taking steps to resolve the case.

Police, said Rusdi, are ready to open the case if new evidence is found. The evidence can be submitted by the reported party, as well as those found by the investigator.

"I say all of them are looking for new evidence, the Police are also doing it, parties outside the Police are also doing it, we all respect that," said Rusdi.
