Surgical assistant instantly paralyzed from neck down after freak accident involving two feet of water
A surgical assistant from Idaho fell head-first off a dock into shallow water and is now suffering from traumatic injuries. Craig Heape, a well-known resident in Pocatello and Island Park, was enjoying a relaxing day with friends at Redfish Lake in Stanley on Sunday when he had a freak accident. Heape, 54, was sitting on a built-in bench on the dock when he suddenly fell backward into less than two feet of water, East Idaho News reported. His friend Carl Williams immediately jumped in after him. 'It was apparent he was instantly paralyzed from the neck down,' Williams said. Paramedics were called to the scene and the 54-year-old was airlifted to the trauma unit at St. Alphonsus Regional Medical Center in Boise. Doctors determined that Heape had suffered a bruised spinal cord and three fractured vertebrae in his neck, along with other traumatic injuries. Heape is to remain in the hospital for over a week while he undergoes intensive treatment and evaluation. He will then be transferred to an inpatient rehabilitation facility, where he could stay for up to six months - depending on the progress of his recovery. Williams reported that even though Heape's injuries are severe, he has already regained feeling in his feet and hands. Doctors don't think that Heape will suffer from permanent nerve damage. A GoFundMe for Heape is being organized by Cher Bennett. 'If you know Craig, you know that he's the guy who can light up any room. He's the life of the party, the one with the quick laugh, the big smile, and the ability to turn an ordinary moment into a memory you'll cherish forever,' the page reads. According to the GoFundMe, donations will go towards medical expenses, long-term inpatient rehabilitation and therapy, home modifications and mobility aids, mortgage and household bills during recovery and travel and living expenses for his care and support. 'Even with the seriousness of his injuries, Craig is approaching each day with the same strength, humor, and determination that have always defined him,' adding that the road ahead will be 'long, uncertain and costly,' the page read. Heape previously worked at Shotgun Bar in Island Park. The bar's Facebook page shared a link to his GoFundMe along with some pictures of the beloved employee and a plea for support. 'Craig was in a life changing accident this weekend. He is currently in Boise, Idaho recovering,' the Facebook post said. According to Heape's own Facebook, he studied at Boise State University and originally hails from Pocatello.

New book on NFL QBs examines Caleb Williams, Bears and the keys to greatness
'Carl Williams was right.' I thought those four words myself during Caleb Williams' rookie season, but the quote is from Seth Wickersham, the longtime ESPN writer and author of a new book 'American Kings: A Biography of the Quarterback', and it admits the obvious: Caleb Williams' father was absolutely correct to be worried about his son ending up with the Chicago Bears. Advertisement The context of that quote was part of a broader point he was making about the 'quarterback dad,' who is 'kind of a secondary character' in Wickersham's engrossing look at our country's most prestigious, challenging profession: NFL quarterback. We all saw what happened last season. It was every quarterback's dad's worst nightmare, and Carl saw it coming. 'It's easy to think of them as being kind of maniacal and controlling and over the top,' Wickersham said of 'quarterback dads' in a recent phone conversation. 'And there's definitely a lot of that, but there's also a point to it, like Carl Williams was right.' Carl Williams became a bogeyman of sorts to skittish Bears fans in the run-up to the 2024 NFL Draft, as rumors persisted he was going to pull a move akin to Jack Elway and Archie Manning to get his son out of Chicago's quarterback-cursed clutches. Then there were the outlandish demands he wanted to make about equity in the franchise. Was it Caleb talking or his dad? 'Carl was serving as his unofficial representative, regardless of whether Caleb was aware of it, regardless of whether Caleb wanted it, regardless of whether Caleb's paid representatives wanted it,' Wickersham writes of the time leading up to the 2024 NFL Combine. 'Members of Caleb's inner circle wanted Carl sidelined. Carl later told me there was some distance between himself and Caleb during this time. Not that he cared. He would chat with agents, telling many, 'I don't want my son playing for the Bears.'' But let's be clear, Caleb was asking questions, too. Just a little quieter. 'Caleb asked those close to him, 'What do you think about the Bears? What do you think, not what does my dad think?'' Wickersham writes. In the end, Caleb, armed with the confidence of a quarterback, thought he could succeed in Chicago, in spite of the past and the present issues. Unlike John Elway and Eli Manning, he didn't want to make a fuss. Advertisement 'I didn't want to nuke the city,' he told Wickersham. To his credit, Carl didn't make any waves during his son's rollercoaster rookie season, though he would've been right to tweet, 'I told you so.' Both Williamses were smart to be skeptical. The Bears botched Caleb's rookie year in ways that were fresh and original even by the standards of this franchise. A year later, you can at least say GM Ryan Poles has made things right with the hiring of Ben Johnson and his staff. Now, the pressure is on Caleb Williams to show he was worth the No. 1 pick, rather than the other way around. The questions that Wickersham spent three years trying to answer in his fascinating book are basic ones with not-so-easy answers: how do you become a great quarterback in the NFL? And why is it so hard to do? From coaching to infrastructure to plain old luck, there are many variables. But in the end, it all comes down to the quarterback. 'Football teams are almost reverse-engineered to support their most valuable players, from scheme to psychology,' Wickersham writes. 'But at some point, quarterbacks are alone with a question: 'Can I do it? Can I make the throws when it matters most?'' That's where we find Caleb Williams today. Caleb Williams entered the 2024 draft as the consensus No. 1 quarterback. He enters his second season facing questions about his ability to process and play quickly. — The Athletic (@TheAthletic) August 11, 2025 Wickersham has been writing about the NFL since the dawn of the Tom Brady era. And his knowledge and curiosity shine in 'American Kings,' making it a must-buy for not only every serious football fan but also every actual quarterback, from high school to the Hall of Fame. In the book, Wickersham spends a lot of time with retired quarterbacks, particularly Elway and Steve Young, wrestling with the psychology and the practice of the most difficult job in sports. Advertisement What did he learn? Well, for one, that once you get to a certain level where you're trying to go from great to legendary, throwing the ball is the easy part. It's everything else that's hard. But for a second-year pro like Williams, who hasn't accomplished anything more than the best statistical season for a rookie QB in Bears history, the throwing stuff is still worth sweating. In one section of the book, Wickersham is sitting down with Broncos coach Sean Payton before the 2024 draft. Payton scouted Williams even though he wouldn't be in position to draft him. The QB guru wasn't sold that Williams would excel in the NFL. For one, Payton has a formula weighted on negative plays in college that informs his evaluations, and Williams' number was higher than Bo Nix and Jayden Daniels. While Payton loves Williams' arm at USC, he is 'worried a little about his processing speed.' Payton sees 'too many easy completions left on the field, open receivers that Williams fails to spot quickly. But his primary concerns with Williams are existential.' Payton wonders how Williams will deal with failure at the NFL level. On the surface, I thought Williams answered that question pretty well. Throughout the twists and turns of the season, Williams was affable and available in public and seemingly liked by his teammates. He played every game, too, despite taking a beating. If being comfortable in your own skin is an attribute every quarterback needs, Williams has it down pat. But the processing speed that Payton worried about is something that should concern the Bears. Mitch Trubisky and Justin Fields failed here, in part, because they couldn't process the game as fast as you need to at this level, at least in the windows they were given. While Williams didn't throw many interceptions last season, he also got sacked 68 times. He completed just 62.5 percent of his passes. Advertisement Beyond all the psychology, anticipating in an instant and throwing the ball where it needs to go is a must for any successful NFL quarterback. In Mike Sando's just-released quarterback tiers, it's the biggest question NFL people have about him. College football is a game played on the outside, while in the NFL, with tighter hash marks, quarterbacks have to be able to live in the middle of the field. Williams has to prove he can excel in the chaos of the pocket, but he shouldn't be judged too harshly given the context of his rookie season. 'To me, a rookie year is about survival, that's basically it,' Wickersham said. 'You're really just trying to survive and you know he not only survived, but he showed a lot of potential.' Wickersham didn't address much of Williams' first NFL year in the book, though he did a fact-checking exercise with Caleb in late January, where he confirmed his father's anecdote that, yes, he complained to his dad about watching film by himself at Halas Hall. 'He liked the coaches as people, but struggled to connect with them as football minds,' Wickersham writes. 'At times, he would watch film alone, with no instruction or guidance from the coaches. 'No one tells me what to watch,' Caleb told his dad. 'I just turn it on.'' That anecdote blew up when ESPN put out a small news story from the book in mid-May. Williams eventually addressed it after a two-week delay, only disputing the idea that he didn't know how to watch film. Matt Eberflus, now coaching in Dallas, refuted the idea that the coaches left him out to dry. 'He was talking about learning how to be more efficient,' Wickersham said. 'You know, you're supposed to have the infrastructure to do that when you pick a quarterback first overall and put your franchise in his hands. What he was asking for was not unreasonable at all.' Advertisement In the book, Wickersham notes that both Williamses were skeptical of Eberflus, a defensive coach, and weren't enamored with the idea of Shane Waldron as offensive coordinator. Williams' performance took off a bit after Waldron was canned midseason. 'I think that way he'd been brought up in that QB Collective group, which is kind of like the Shanahan tree and they run all these camps, but they really try to teach you the Mike Shanahan offense when you're in high school, and he loved that,' Wickersham said. 'I think he understood the difference between the people who were copying a playbook and those who were taking what they had learned and innovating beyond that. And I think that he wanted to be linked with someone who was an innovator.' As McDaniel thought about Williams — he met him nearly a decade ago while coaching at a QB Collective camp and has followed his career closely — and Johnson trying to figure each other out, he urged them to embrace inevitable conflict as a path to growth. #CollectiveFootball… — COLLECTIVE FOOTBALL (@QBCollective) August 10, 2025 During the draft process, Caleb wanted to find a way to get to Minnesota, where Kevin O'Connell was coaching. That didn't happen, but linking up with Johnson should prove whether or not he has what it takes to be a successful NFL quarterback, if not a dominant one. 'It took a year, but the Williams finally have what they wanted, which is an innovative offensive mind whose fate is rooted in Caleb succeeding, and I think that's really the best chance you can ask for,' Wickersham said. Wickersham had the time and the contacts to 'stress test' the people he wanted to write about. He traveled the country, from going to an event honoring Warren Moon at his old Los Angeles high school, to visiting with Johnny Unitas' family, to spending so much time at Isidore Newman practice that Arch Manning thought he was a coach. Some quarterbacks were left on the cutting-room floor. Caleb Williams made the cut for the book, in part, because he and his father were so vocal about their plan to get to the top. 'I think that what made Caleb interesting is that his dad walks into the coach's office in high school and says, 'I want to work backwards from first pick in the draft,'' Wickersham said. ''We think he can be the first pick in the draft. How do we do that?' That's just a mind-blowing thought and idea and vision. You have to be a little irrational, a little willing to be daring and put yourself out there to make it in this space, I think, and my god, it worked.' Yes, it worked. Williams was the No. 1 pick, but now comes the really hard part. Does he have what it takes to be one of the greats? This is the question that drove Wickersham to spend years writing this book. For Williams, it's one that only he can answer. Spot the pattern. Connect the terms Find the hidden link between sports terms Play today's puzzle

Campaign to highlight risk Nottingham's trams pose to pedestrians
A network of bright yellow signs has been installed across Nottingham to remind people of the potentially deadly risk the city's trams can pose."Two Lines = STOP" is the message installed in key locations by tram operator NET and the Light Rail Safety and Standards Board (LRSSB).They want people to be more aware when near the tramlines to prevent research has shown that pedestrian "inattention" is the biggest factor. Connor Hardy, quality, health, safety and environmental manager for NET, said: "Each summer, thousands descend upon Nottingham city centre to attend the beach at the Old Market Square."It's such an exciting time for the city, but for those who either are not familiar with Nottingham or who get swept up in the summer festivities, a one-second lapse in attention could have very real consequences during a time that should be spent making lots of happy memories."The LRSSB campaign has previously been rolled out in cities including Birmingham, Sheffield, Manchester, Edinburgh and chief executive Carl Williams said the initiative was already having a positive impact.

NFL offseason power rankings: No. 15 Chicago Bears hire Ben Johnson to change their history
Other NFL team previews: 32. Titans | 31. Saints | 30. Browns | 29. Panthers | 28. Jets | 27. Giants | 26. Raiders | 25. Patriots | 24. Colts | 23. Dolphins | 22. Jaguars | 21. Falcons | 20. Steelers | 19. Cardinals | 18. Cowboys | 17. Seahawks | 16. Texans Before the 2024 NFL Draft, there was plenty of speculation that Caleb Williams wanted no part of the Chicago Bears. Everyone smiled and played nice when the team made it clear he'd be the pick, but the old issues came to light again this offseason. Advertisement "Chicago is the place quarterbacks go to die," said Caleb's father Carl Williams, according to an ESPN excerpt of Seth Wickersham's book "American Kings: A Biography of the Quarterback." The feathers that had settled were ruffled again with that comment. But it was also impossible to deny that Carl Williams was entirely spot-on. Chicago, which hasn't had an All-Pro quarterback since 1950, has been where quarterbacks' careers go to die. Williams' upside case died a little bit as he struggled last season behind a terrible offensive line and even worse coaching. The only good thing to come out of last season was that the Bears seemed to finally wake up and address the underlying issues that led Carl Williams to see if there was a way to circumvent the draft and steer his son way from a franchise that has never figured out the modern passing game. The Bears seemed reluctant to pay top dollar in its coaching search when it started, but eventually paid Ben Johnson handsomely to leave his job as the Detroit Lions' offensive coordinator. Johnson is one of the league's most respected play-callers and the Bears hope that leads to a big improvement for Williams. The Bears also revamped their offensive line and then drafted tight end Colston Loveland in the first round and receiver Luther Burden III in the second round, giving the Bears a deep group of skill-position players. Advertisement With an exciting offensive-minded coach, a good offensive line, a fun group of pass catchers and the No. 1 pick from the 2024 draft at quarterback, if the Bears can't get that elusive first 4,000-yard passing season, maybe the franchise is just doomed at the position. [Get more Bears news: Chicago team feed] While everyone has been quick to dunk on the Browns, Commanders, Panthers, Jets or some others for being among the NFL's truly dysfunctional franchises, the Bears haven't been any better. Winning a Super Bowl 40 years ago doesn't change that much, and the fact that the 1985 Bears are still the first topic of conversation in Chicago speaks to how bad the team has been since then. The Bears have won six playoff games in the 39 seasons since Super Bowl XX. The problems have generally started at quarterback. Since 1963, the only two Bears quarterbacks to make the Pro Bowl were Jim McMahon in 1985 and Mitchell Trubisky in 2018. Trubisky made it as a replacement. The Bears' record for passing yards in a season is 3,838 by Erik Kramer in 1995. Chicago, which was one of the NFL's original teams in 1920, is the only team that has never had a 4,000-yard passer or a 30-touchdown season either. Last season Williams had 3,541 yards, and many of his surface stats were fine. He had some exciting flashes as a rookie, like when he almost rallied the Bears to a comeback win in Detroit on Thanksgiving. Williams also held the ball way too long, trying to do too much, a main reason he led the NFL with 68 sacks taken. Williams was fine, and it didn't help the perception of him that No. 2 overall pick Jayden Daniels was far ahead and an instant superstar. Advertisement The Bears are again one of the darlings of the offseason and a popular pick to have a breakthrough, both on the team level and with their young quarterback. Now they have to actually do it. Johnson said one of the reasons he took the Chicago job was to work with Williams. He understands all of the history going against him and Williams, and he's undaunted. 'I love it. I love it. I love the opportunity to come on in and change that narrative,' Johnson said. 'That's where great stories are written." Caleb Williams of the Chicago Bears talks with head coach Ben Johnson during an offseason practice. (Photo by) (Michael Reaves via Getty Images) Offseason grade Make all the jokes about the Bears being back-to-back offseason champs. Last year everyone gushed about the Bears' moves, forgetting that coaching and offensive line play matters too. This year the Bears had another impressive offseason on paper. The coaching was presumably fixed with Ben Johnson coming aboard. The offensive line got a complete makeover. Center Drew Dalman was signed from the Falcons for $42 million over three years. The Bears traded for guards Joe Thuney and Jonah Jackson, and both have been Pro Bowl performers. Chicago also signed some defensive help with pass rusher Dayo Odeyingbo ($48 million over three years) and defensive tackle Grady Jarrett ($42.75 million over three years). That's how you improve both lines. The draft got good reviews, with the team adding to Caleb Williams' weapons with tight end Colston Loveland in the first round and receiver Luther Burden III in the second. There weren't any significant losses either. It would be a surprise if this set of moves don't lead to a notable improvement. Advertisement Grade: A Quarterback report Caleb Williams was uneven as a rookie, with his base stats (20 touchdowns, six interceptions) belying that there was a lot to work on within his game. Were the issues due to Williams' flaws or poor coaching? We should find out more this season. Ben Johnson is working with Williams on everything, including better body language, which was bad at times last season as he was getting hit and the Bears were losing. He also took way too many sacks and was inaccurate on deep throws. Johnson ran a tremendous offense with the Lions, finishing among the NFL's top five in points scored and yards gained in each of his three seasons as offensive coordinator. Last season the Lions scored 564 points, which led the NFL and was the fourth-most in league history. But Johnson acknowledges the Bears have different personnel, starting with the quarterback, and his approach has to change with it. Advertisement "He is a phenomenal talent that had, as many quarterbacks do, an up-and-down rookie year," Johnson said when he was introduced as the team's new head coach, via "Where I see my role is as a supporter of him. This offense will be calibrated with him in mind. We're going to build this thing — this is not simply a dropping of a previous playbook and starting there. No, we're ripping this thing down to the studs, and we're going to build it out with him first and foremost, and then the pieces around him next. I really look forward to challenging him and pushing him, as I said before, to continue to grow and develop." BetMGM odds breakdown From Yahoo's Ben Fawkes: 'With a new head coach in Ben Johnson and additions on offense (drafted Colston Loveland and Luther Burden III, added Joe Thuney, Jonah Jackson and Drew Dalman on o-line), the pieces are in place for second-year QB Caleb Williams to take a leap. Make no mistake: This team will go only as far as Williams takes them. The Bears are a big underdog (+155) to make the playoffs at BetMGM and their win total of 8.5 is shaded to the under, so oddsmakers and the betting public think a wild-card berth may still be a year away. It doesn't help that Chicago plays in arguably the league's best division in the NFC North. The Bears are projected to be favored in only seven games this season." Yahoo's fantasy take From Yahoo's Scott Pianowski: "The market has been cool to Colston Loveland so far, and I think that's the right call. Although Sam LaPorta and Brock Bowers both had dynamic rookie years in the past two seasons, it's likely a mistake to apply their success to the Chicago situation. Consider that Loveland steps into a crowded situation for pass catchers (the Bears have a slew of good wideouts and even a respectable other tight end in Cole Kmet). And we still need some proof that Caleb Williams can play in this league — he had a horrible sack problem last year, and generally sack problems are mostly about the quarterback, not other things. Even if I wind up drafting two tight ends on some roster builds, Loveland is not a player I'm targeting." Advertisement Stat to remember The Bears allowed 5.9 yards per play last season. The only team to give up more per play was Carolina, a horrible defense that allowed the most points in NFL history. It was a clear step back for a unit that came into last season with high hopes. Chicago's defense had a strong second half in 2023, which was somewhat comically attributed to trading for defensive end Montez Sweat during the season, and it crashed a bit last season. In 2023, the Bears allowed 27.3 points in the eight games before trading for Sweat and 17.9 in the nine games after the deal. Then last season Chicago allowed 21.8 points per game and 354.2 yards per game, which ranked 27th in the NFL. The Bears were second to last in net yards per pass attempt allowed, as the pass rush dried up. The Bears added some pieces up front to their defense, and the secondary was steady last season, so perhaps there's a rebound coming with former Saints head coach Dennis Allen getting back to what he does best as Chicago's new defensive coordinator. There has been plenty of talk about the Bears' offense this offseason and rightfully so, but Chicago probably won't be a playoff contender if its defense isn't better, regardless of how many strides its offense makes. Burning question How will the Bears split up touches? Unless Ben Johnson is seriously creative, there still remains just one ball in play for each NFL offense. That presents an issue. How will the Bears keep all their skill-position players happy? DJ Moore looks like the No. 1 option, though he won't be a target hog like Malik Nabers or CeeDee Lamb. He'll need to share first with Rome Odunze, the ninth overall pick of last year's draft who had a fairly quiet rookie season but plenty of potential. There is also Luther Burden III, who might not see the field much if the Bears rely on two tight end sets with rookie Colston Loveland and Cole Kmet. Burden missed time in the offseason program due to a soft tissue injury, which seemed to irk Johnson. And don't forget that the Lions loved running the ball with Johnson in charge. That means someone among D'Andre Swift, Roschon Johnson or rookie Kyle Monangai — maybe all three in a fairly unimpressive running back room — could be a big part of the offense too. Having plenty of capable offensive players is a good problem to have, and it will be interesting to see how the pie is split up. Advertisement Best-case scenario Maybe the Bears need an injection of swagger. Ben Johnson came in swinging when he was hired, as he explained wanting to stay in the NFC North. "And to be quite frank with ya, I kind of enjoyed beating Matt LaFleur twice a year," Johnson said, referring to the Packers' head coach. It's a lot easier for a coach to win the news conference and the offseason than win games in the fall. But a few months after Johnson was a highly coveted head-coaching candidate — he was last year too before backing out and staying with Detroit — the Bears have no reason to believe they made the wrong hire. It seems like Johnson's transition to being a head coach is going well. Plenty of NFL Coach of the Year winners have been rookies who take over after the previous coach was dragging the franchise down, and the turnaround leads to a playoff berth and impresses voters. It's easy to see Johnson in that role, helping Williams to a big season, a talented Bears roster to the postseason and perhaps an NFC North title if everything breaks right. Williams can't even be discounted as a long-shot MVP candidate this season (Lamar Jackson and Patrick Mahomes are recent MVPs who won in their second seasons). If this all hits for Chicago, it might hit really big. Advertisement Nightmare scenario Through an all-time heist of a trade with the Panthers, the Bears positioned themselves perfectly to take Caleb Williams with the first overall pick of last year's draft, the first time they'd selected first since 1947. They got a supreme prospect who could lift them out of a decades-long quarterback rut. But what if Williams isn't great? No quarterback should be judged after only two seasons. But it's not like the Bears haven't done a lot to put Williams in a good situation for Year 2. If Williams struggles this season when he's surrounded by Ben Johnson, DJ Moore, Rome Odunze, Luther Burden III, Colston Loveland, Cole Kmet, Drew Dalman, Joe Thuney and Jonah Jackson, what's next year's move? There wouldn't be many viable excuses for Williams, unless injuries hit hard this season. And if we get to the end of Williams' second season and he doesn't look like a viable franchise quarterback — not necessarily a finished product and a star, but promising enough that everyone understands the arrow is clearly pointed up — that would be alarming. The Bears have spent a lot of resources to get the most out of Williams. They need to see tangible progress. The crystal ball says The Bears are the first NFC North team to appear on the rankings countdown, but the toughest division in the league isn't separated by that much. It feels like any team could finish first (and any team could finish last as well). Caleb Williams will have a nice growth season. Ben Johnson is a sharp offensive mind and Williams has plenty of talent and a good cast around him. But it's possible for the Bears to be much better, look like they're on the right path and still finish last. The division is that good. Let's say the Bears stay in playoff contention until late in the season but fall short, and then Chicago goes into the 2026 season as one of the more hyped teams in the NFL ... a role it should be used to by now.

BREAKING NEWS Police FINALLY arrest three Australians behind Bali gangland hit who now face the death penalty - as their desperate attempt to flee the island is revealed
Three Australians have been arrested over the shooting of two Aussies in a brutal attack in a Bali villa, after they allegedly tried to flee the holiday island. Zivan 'Stipe' Radmanovic, 35, and Sanar Ghanim, 34, were shot just after midnight on Saturday at a villa in Munggu - in Badung Regency in Bali's south - in an attack believed to be linked to Melbourne 's feuding Middle Eastern crime syndicates. Radmanovic died at the scene after he was shot twice in the chest and once in the foot, while Ghanim was rushed to Kuta's BIMC Hospital with gunshot wounds. Ghanim is the former partner of Danielle Stephens, who is the stepdaughter of slain Melbourne gangland boss Carl Williams. He was discharged from hospital on Sunday, using a wheelchair and nursing a bandaged leg, and has refused to co-operate with local authorities. Bali Police Chief, Inspector General Daniel Adityajaya, confirmed on Wednesday that three Australians had been arrested in relation to the shooting - the suspected gunmen, and the individual who allegedly planned the attack. 'One suspect was arrested at Soekarno-Hatta Airport while attempting to leave Indonesia. The other two had already left the country but were successfully brought back to Indonesia thanks to cooperation with Interpol,' Mr Adityajaya said. He said the suspects had changed vehicles multiple times in a desperate bid to flee Bali. 'First, they used a motorbike, then switched to a white Toyota Fortuner, which was later found in the Tabanan area. 'After that, they changed vehicles again, this time to an XL7, and traveled to Surabaya. 'They then attempted to leave the country via Soekarno-Hatta Airport. However, with the joint efforts of Metro Jaya Police and the National Police Crime Unit, we were able to prevent (one of them) from leaving Indonesia.' Asked about the charges the suspects would likely face, Mr Adityajaya said: 'They may be charged under Article 340 of the Criminal Code for premeditated murder, which carries a maximum sentence of the death penalty.'
