JAKARTA -- A former top Indonesian intelligence official will be charged with the murder of prominent human rights activist who died of cyanide poisoning during a flight from Singapore to the Netherlands in 2004, an official said on Monday. Bonaventura Daulat Nainggolan, a spokesman at the Attorney General’s office, said prosecutors had 20 days after accepting a police dossier to file a case against Muchdi Purwoprandjono, former deputy chief of Indonesia’s intelligence agency.

“We will charge him with premeditated murder,” Nainggolan said, adding the charge carries the maximum death penalty.
