Indonesian court sentences gang leader to death over rape and murder of girl
THE leader of a gang of men and boys who raped and murdered a school
girl in a case that caused public outrage in Indonesia has been
sentenced to death amid the government’s move to introduce heavier
penalties for sex crimes committed against children.
An Indonesian court in Sumatra Island on Thursday (Sept 29) sent the
leader, who was only identified as Zainal, to the gallows while his four
accomplices were jailed 20 years for the attack on the 14-year-old
girl.

Local reports said a group of 14 men, including eight boys, were
involved in the gang rape on the remote Island. The youngest attacker
was only 13-year-old.
According to Reuters, sexual crime against women in the fourth-most-populous country is common but cases of gang rape are rare.
In reading out the sentencing, presiding judge Henny Faridha was quoted by Reuters as saying that: “Because of the sadistic nature of the crime … the court sentences Zainal to death.”

On April 2, the victim, Yuyun, was gang-raped and murdered while she was
on her way home from school. Her body was discovered dumped in a river
at a rubber plantation in a small village of the Bengkulu Province,
Sumatra, two days after the incident.
The case had prompted President Joko Widodo to introduce new regulation
that would see harsher punishment being meted out against child sex
offenders, including chemical castration and the death penalty. This
came following demands by women’s groups for the government to pass an
Elimination of Sexual Violence Bill.
On May 21, another teenager’s body was found dumped in a river in
Pamelang, Central Java, after she and a friend were raped by a group of
12 drunken men a week before.
In the wake of these cases, Jokowi pledged to “arrest and punish the
perpetrators as severely as possible”, adding that “women and children
have to be protected from violence”.
The new regulation has yet to be approved by Parliament. The proposed
heavier punishments have triggered a divisive debate between the Jokowi
administration and opposition lawmakers, including human rights, civil
society groups, who have questioned the efficacy of the sentences.

The remaining gang members in Yuyun’s case were earlier sentenced to 10
years in prison while another was ordered to undergo a year-long
rehabilitation programme. Police said another suspect is still on the
run.
Yuyun parents, who attended court for the sentencing, said it was inadequate given the severity of the crime.
Breaking down into tears, the victim’s mother, Yana told reporters: “They should all get the death penalty.”
