Suharto's son found guilty of ordering judge's murder

AN Indonesian court yesterday found the youngest son of former dictator Suharto guilty of paying two hit men to murder a Supreme Court justice and sentenced him to 15 years in jail.

The murder trial was considered a test of post-Suharto Indonesia's ability to overhaul a notoriously corrupt judicial system.

"The defendant has been proven guilty of all the charges," Presiding Judge Amiruddin Zakaria said.
