He said that based on the police investigations, the shooting began short after a hit and run driver Riyadhus Sholihin, adding the police should not shoot dead him though in this case he was found guilty.
"The hit and run accident is true, but he (Riyadhus Sholihin) who was allegedly accused of carrying a sickle is not true. Moreover, there were somesaying he was drunk, it's sbsolutely not true," Siradj quoted police chief of East Java as saying.
As reported, Riyadhus Sholihin was shot dead by First Brigadier Eko Ristanto on Friday (28/10), member of the Sidoarjo's Criminal Reserves, for grazing a policeman in front of the Sidoarjo's Delta Sport Center. (mkf)
