Car showroom owners slain<\/p>\n
BOGOR (JP): A middle-aged couple was found murdered in their
\nKijang van in a quiet valley where rice and bananas are grown in
\nPasirmuncang village, Caringin, on Friday morning.<\/p>\n
Local police identified the victims as Didi Sasmita, 59, and
\nwife Susanti, 51. Both were the owners of car showroom Andrian
\nMotor in Cibinong.<\/p>\n
Medical staff at Bogor's Red Cross Hospital revealed that the
\ncouple suffered serious injuries.<\/p>\n
Didi's throat had been slashed while his wife sustained head
\ninjuries and burns to her back.<\/p>\n
The couple's relatives are convinced that the motive of the
\nkilling was vengeance, especially considering that personnel
\nbelongings were not removed from the bodies.<\/p>\n
Melianti, the couple's second child, told reporters that many
\nof her parents' belongings, such as a handbag, a wallet
\ncontaining Rp 1 million, two mobile phones, luxury watches, a
\ngold ring, a necklace and earrings were still with the bodies.<\/p>\n
According to the 26-year-old woman, she and her three sisters
\nand a brother were with their parents at the showroom on
\nThursday.<\/p>\n
After her father closed the business at 7 p.m., they were all
\nready to return to their home on Jl. Batutulis.<\/p>\n
\"But father then invited us to have bakso (meatball soup) in
\ndowntown Bogor,\" she recalled.<\/p>\n
The family left the showroom in two cars: the couple's five
\nchildren in a Suzuki Esteem sedan followed by their parents in
\nthe Kijang.<\/p>\n
\"We first drove in a line before getting onto Jagorawi toll
\nroad from the Cibinong tollgate,\" Melianti said.<\/p>\n
A few minutes after entering the toll road, those in the
\nEsteem lost sight of their parent's van.<\/p>\n
\"We thought that the Kijang must have been stuck in a line or
\nsomething ... we just went ahead to find bakso,\" she added.<\/p>\n
When the children reached home, they nervously waited the
\nwhole night for their parents and tried contacting them on their
\nmobile phones, but received no answer.<\/p>\n
\"Only in the morning were we informed by the police that our
\nparents had been killed,\" she said.<\/p>\n
The murder is being investigated by the Bogor Police. (24\/ylt)<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/car-showroom-owners-slain-1447893297", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
