Second mutilated female body found<\/p>\n
JAKARTA (JP): While the identity of a dismembered female body
\nfound last Sunday in Tangerang remains a mystery, the city was
\nrocked again yesterday by the finding of another mutilated female
\nbody in East Jakarta.<\/p>\n
The first victim was cut into 12 parts with her torso still
\nmissing; this second victim was found with no head, neck, right
\narm, left hand, right lower leg and left foot.<\/p>\n
Similar to the Tangerang case, this woman's body was found
\nfloating in a fishpond in Pondok Ranggon subdistrict, Cipayung.
\nIt had not been identified by last night.<\/p>\n
\"Judging from the incisions, it looks like the body was
\ndismembered with a blunt knife. I think the case is different
\nfrom the Tangerang case,\" forensic expert Budi Sampurna of Cipto
\nMangunkusumo General Hospital told reporters.<\/p>\n
According to Budi, the butcher of the body found near Cisauk
\nrailroad station in Serpong, Tangerang, used a sharp saw.<\/p>\n
The headless female body was found at 5:30 a.m. yesterday by
\ntwo women on their way to a washroom near the pond.<\/p>\n
\"The two (Nurfatikah, 22 and Royati, 20) were stunned when
\nthey saw a body floating on the edge of the pond,\" the head of
\nthe East Jakarta Detective Unit, Maj. Alex Mandalika, said.<\/p>\n
The incident woke the neighbors after both women called out to
\nthe pond's owner, Salim, 50. He later reported the finding to
\nCiracas Police.<\/p>\n
\"The killer obviously tried to erase her identity as all parts
\nthat might be used to clarify it, such as fingerprints and face,
\nhave been cut off,\" Alex said.<\/p>\n
About half a kilometer from the scene police found blood
\ntraces on the wall inside a dimly lit drinking stall, which also
\nillegally runs prostitution activities, he said.<\/p>\n
\"Police dogs scoured nearby areas and inside the kiosk we
\nfound bloodstains.<\/p>\n
We're still studying the type of the blood to find out whether
\nit belongs to the victim,\" Alex said.<\/p>\n
According to preliminary police inquiries and witnesses'
\ninformation, the killer dumped the body at about 3 a.m., the
\nofficer said.<\/p>\n
Based on the condition of the body when found, the police
\nbelieve the killer cleaned the remains before disposing of it in
\nthe pond.<\/p>\n
The pond has also been combed by the police but nothing was
\nfound related to the body.<\/p>\n
Budi estimated the woman was between 18 and 30 years old,
\nabout 1.50 meters tall and 40 kilograms in weight. Her blood type
\nwas AB and there was an appendix operation scar on her lower
\nabdomen.<\/p>\n
\"She was killed between 12 and 24 hours before being dumped,\"
\nthe forensic expert said.<\/p>\n
According to Budi, his forensic team has yet to confirm the
\ncause of death since the remaining parts of the body have not
\nbeen found.<\/p>\n
Local police have questioned at least four people regarding
\nthe incident.<\/p>\n
\"There is a possibility that these kind of mutilated-body
\ncases will continue as a new crime trend here,\" East Jakarta
\nPolice chief Lt. Col. Syahrir Kuba said.<\/p>\n
The 12-piece female body in Tangerang is expected to be buried
