After three days of treatment, he was pronounced dead,‘ Yunus told reporters on Monday.

An official at National Police Hospital in Jakarta said Abello had a neck fracture, and the injury blocked the supply of oxygen.

He was paraded Thursday in handcuffs wearing an orange prison shirt and black facemask at a police press conference.
