Police hunt for two over woman's murder<\/p>\n
JAKARTA (JP): Central Jakarta Police detectives are searching
\nfor two men in connection with the murder of an old woman, whose
\nbody featured at least 12 stab wounds and was found lifeless in
\nfront of the Kapuk residential complex in Cengkareng, West
\nJakarta, on Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n
Central Jakarta Police Chief Sr. Comr. Mathius Salempang
\nidentified the woman as Megawati Purnomo, 67, a city resident
\nliving on Jl. Irian in Menteng, Central Jakarta.<\/p>\n
\"This seems like a robbery-murder case, but we are still
\ninvestigating. We must get hold of Megawati's driver, Saputra,
\n25, and her helper, Susanto, 15, who are both missing, along with
\nthe victim's Nissan Terrano blue van,\" Mathius told reporters at
\nthe Jakarta Police headquarters on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Mathius said that the van's registration number was B 2232 B.<\/p>\n
\"We can't say for sure whether this is a definite robbery-
\nmurder case because of the stab wounds. If it was just a van
\nrobbery, why stab someone repeatedly in the head, neck and back?\"<\/p>\n
At the Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital, forensic doctors
\nfound at least eight large stab wounds on the victim's back, two
\non her head and two on the neck. The victim's entire body was
\nmarked with bruises.<\/p>\n
Mathius said that according to what Megawati's son, Benyamin
\nSuhendro, had told the police, his mother had gone to visit his
\nailing father, Bambang Suhendro, 70, at the Gatot Subroto Army
\nHospital, at about 7:30 p.m. and then returned home at about 9
\np.m. on Monday.<\/p>\n
\"She came home, ate her dinner, and was suddenly gone again.
\nShe took the car at about 10 p.m. on Monday, along with the
\nhelper and driver, and nobody knows where she went. Her son tried
\ncontacting her on the cellphone, but she couldn't be reached,\"
\nMathius said.<\/p>\n
\"At 9 a.m. on Tuesday, while we were questioning her son who
\nthought she was lost or had been kidnapped, Cengkareng Police
\nfound her lifeless body in Kapuk. Her corpse was immediately
\nbrought to the Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital for a
\npostmortem examination.\"<\/p>\n
Bambang was seen with his two children, including Benyamin,
\nshedding tears over the victim's corpse at the hospital. The
\nfamily took the body home at about 4:30 p.m. on Thursday.
