Police release sketch of fourth Bali blast suspect

Police release fourth Bali suspect sketch

Indonesian police have just released a sketch of a fourth suspect they think was involved in the Bali bombings.

The man in the latest sketch has Indonesian features, although police have not given any more details at this stage.

"According to our witnesses, he is thought to have a very close connection to the case. His status is a suspect," deputy national police spokesman Edward Aritonang said.

Police last week released sketches of three Indonesian men whom they said might be perpetrators of the devastating blasts that ripped through a nightclub area.

Police have said they believed the group responsible for the attacks consisted of up to 10 members, but they have not named any individuals or groups as suspects.


'Very helpful'

Earlier, Indonesian investigators said a man suspected of owning a vehicle used in the bombing had been very helpful during questioning.

Police in Java picked up the man yesterday.

Now spokesman for the Bali investigators, brigadier general Edward Aritonang, says the man is being "very, very helpful" in his response to police questioning.

An Indonesian national police spokesman earlier declared they were especially interested in five men who were under intensive questioning, but had not yet been determined to be suspects.




Auction

In Darwin, a Northern Territory legal firm says a divorce donated to an auction will be transferable if the successful bidder never needs to use it.

Vanessa Farmer says her firm has donated the divorce to a Red Cross auction for the victims of the Bali bombings.

Ms Farmer says the organisers wanted something attention grabbing.

She says the divorce, to the value of $1,000, should get bidders' attention.

"Essentially it appears that it might be contested and it should raise a fair bit of money," she said.

"That's not to say thought that the person who bids is actually going to use the prize, but I've indicated we're going to honour it."
