Two wanted for murder of maid<\/p>\n
JAKARTA (JP): West Jakarta Police detectives are combing the
\nstreets of a city outside Jakarta in search of two men suspected
\nof murdering a 60-year-old woman who was found dead on Tuesday
\nmorning at her workplace.<\/p>\n
West Jakarta Police deputy chief Maj. Syafril Nursal said on
\nWednesday that the two men were strongly suspected of killing
\nMinah, who worked as a maid in Kelapa Dua Villa housing complex
\nin Kebon Jeruk. He refused to say in which city the suspects were
\nbeing sought.<\/p>\n
\"We are sure those two are the killers. They were very well
\nacquainted with a local resident who lives in the vicinity of the
\nKelapa Dua Villa complex,\" Syafril told The Jakarta Post.<\/p>\n
\"The motive smells of revenge, but we cannot be sure until the
\nkillers are caught.\"<\/p>\n
The woman's decomposing corpse was found on Tuesday morning at
\nher workplace. A table cloth had been stuffed in her mouth, her
\nhands tied with shoelaces and her feet bound with a shawl.<\/p>\n
Her forehead had a deep cut, apparently caused by a machete,
\nand her left hand was badly bruised.<\/p>\n
The entire house was found in a shambles, but apparently
\nnothing was missing from the house, Syafril said.<\/p>\n
The suspects had rearranged the furniture and several other
\nthings in the house, but about Rp 400,000 housekeeping money and
\npetty cash in a drawer in the master bedroom was untouched.<\/p>\n
\"So was Minah's gold bangle. Nothing was taken.\"<\/p>\n
The family who own the house -- Widaryanto, a private
\ncontractor, his wife Jonah and their two sons -- had been in
\nYogyakarta since Dec. 23, but immediately returned to Jakarta
\nupon hearing about the murder.<\/p>\n
Syafril said Widaryanto had tried calling his home on Monday
\nbut nobody answered the phone.<\/p>\n
\"So he called up his neighbor Hantoyo and asked him to check
\nif everything was alright. Hantoyo approached the house, and
\nfound the gate unlocked. He contacted the head of the
\nneighborhood community and a security guard and told them to
\nenter the house with him,\" Syafril said.<\/p>\n
\"The three entered, and found everything in a shambles. Then,
\nfrom the strong stench alone, they found Minah, lying lifeless on
\nthe living room sofa. We guess she must have died sometime on
\nMonday, the 27th.\" (ylt)<\/p>",
