Excerpt from Wikipedia:
Major General Raden Soeprapto
Born: Purwokerto, 24 August 1920. Died: Jakarta, 1 October 1965.
Raden Soeprapto was the second deputy commander of the Indonesian Army, and was kidnapped from his home in Jakarta by members of the 30 September Movement in the early hours of October 1. He was later killed at Lubang Buaya.
In the early hours of the morning of 1 October 1965, Soeprapto was not able to sleep due to a toothache, and instead was painting a picture he was working on. Members of the 30 September Movement arrived at Soeprapto's house at Jalan Besuki No. 9, in Jakarta's Menteng district. The kidnappers, from the Tjakrabirawa presidential guard, told Soeprapto he was being summoned to appear before President Sukarno. He asked for permission to change his clothes, but was refused, and Soeprapto was taken by truck to Lubang Buaya, the movement's base on the southern outskirts of Jakarta. His wife was awakened by the family's dogs barking and came into the living room but was forced back by her husband's captors. She was forbidden to use the phone, and rushed to it when the soldiers left but it had been cut. She scribbled a note to send to the Parman's place to raise the alarm, but she did not know that General Parman had also been seized that morning.
Later that night, he was shot to death along with other members of the Army general staff who had survived their kidnapping attempts. All the bodies were thrown into an unused well. The bodies were recovered and all were given a state funeral on October 5, before being buried at the Heroes Cemetery, Kalibata. On the same day, via Presidential Decision No. 111/KOTI/1965, President Sukarno formerly made Soeprapto a Hero of the Revolution.
