Fly the unfriendly skies

So much for special meals:

An off-duty Indonesian airline pilot was jailed yesterday for 14 years for murdering one of the country's leading human rights activists by lacing his food with arsenic during a flight. . .

Mr Munir's wife, Suciwati, and various rights groups believe the pilot, Pollycarpus Budihari Priyanto, was acting under orders; they said yesterday they would continue the hunt to expose the people who had given those orders.

From the Guardian. Incidentally, "Pollycarpus" would appear to be an unusual variant spelling of the still less-than-common Polycarpus or Polykarp (after the sainted bishop of Smyrna).
