Court questions more witness as Tommy Suharto trial resumes
Judges have begun questioning more witnessess in the murder and firearms trial of Tommy Suharto, the youngest son of former Indonesian President Suharto.
Tommy could face the death penalty if convicted.
Hundreds of police, some armed, guarded a huge exhibition hall, the new venue for the hearing which has attracted large crowds of spectators.
Tommy is the first close member of the Suharto family to appear personally in court.
He is accused of ordering the contract killing of a supreme court Judge who had tried to send him to jail for corruption, and of two counts of weapons possession.
Thirty-nine-year-old Tommy also faces a charge of fleeing justice.
