Eastern Sun, 13 Jan 1971 (lead only). A young woman told a special court she gouged an army general's eyes with a knife before he was shot, on the eve of the 1965 coup. A confession-style Lubang Buaya claim of the kind that fed the sexual-slander narrative, here from a trial under the New Order.

Kannibalen vrijgesproken (Cannibals acquitted)

Cannibals acquitted

Amigoe di Curaçao, 19 Aug 1971, on a Papua New Guinea court acquitting seven men of cannibalism. Not about Indonesia: 'Gerwani Turbiam' is only a defendant's name, as the translator notes. A false hit for Gerwani research.
