Wife killed, husband critical in knife attack<\/p>\n
JAKARTA (JP): A housewife was found stabbed to death and her
\nhusband dying of stab wounds at their house in Cilincing, North
\nJakarta on Thursday night.<\/p>\n
Police have detained four suspects.<\/p>\n
Neighbors found the dead Hasnawati and her husband, Nurdin,
\nwhen they tried to find the source of smoke coming from the
\nvictims' house about 11:30 p.m. Thursday, police said. The
\nneighbors found the mattress was burned.<\/p>\n
Hasnawati, 32, was stabbed in the body 12 times while Nurdin,
\n56, a lumber businessman, had at least four stab wounds.<\/p>\n
Hasnawati, who was found naked, was Nurdin's second wife.<\/p>\n
Police speculated the four suspects, one of whom is Nurdin's
\nson from his first wife, tried to burn the house down by setting
\nthe mattress on fire after committing the crime.<\/p>\n
Police seized two blood-smeared machetes.<\/p>\n
The four arrests were based on Nurdin's information. Nurdin
\ntold a neighbor his attackers' identities before being rushed to
\nthe Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital, said police spokesman
\nMaj. Nyoman Suryasta.<\/p>\n
Nurdin is in intensive care.<\/p>\n
\"The suspects are under intensive interrogation at the North
\nJakarta police precinct,\" Nyoman said.<\/p>\n
Nyoman said preliminary investigations suggested the motive
\nfor the attack might be related to inheritance.<\/p>\n
The four suspects are M. Ali, Nurdin's son, and his wife,
\nMuhayyah, and Ambo and Hana, whose relationship to the victims is
\nstill unclear.<\/p>\n
The four were picked up from their houses almost an hour after
\nthe bodies were found.<\/p>\n
Nyoman said police needed more evidence. \"Everything is still
\nunder investigation and police are still collecting as much
\nevidence as they can.\"<\/p>\n
Police and several of Nurdin's neighbors on Jl. Kalibaru Timur
\nsaid Nurdin might have disappointed his children (from his first
\nwife) by sharing his wealth after his first wife died a few years
