Women's multilation done in 'panic', expert says<\/p>\n
JAKARTA (JP): The body of the woman who was found in Tangerang
\non Sunday was dismembered in a hurry with a sharp saw probably
\nwhile the murderer was panicking, a forensic expert said
\nyesterday.<\/p>\n
The Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital's forensic department
\nhead Budi Sampurna said the body had been mutilated at least 36
\nhours before the remains, cut into 12 pieces, were dumped at a
\nsite near Cisauk railway station in Serpong.<\/p>\n
\"The dismemberment was hurriedly done, probably because the
\nmurderer wanted to pack the body into the boxes quickly,\" Budi,
\nwho examined the body Monday, told reporters.<\/p>\n
He disagreed with the assumption made by one of his
\ncolleagues, who said the murderer was a professional with
\nknowledge of how to dismember a body.<\/p>\n
\"If it was committed by a professional, the body should have
\nbeen cut at every joint.\"<\/p>\n
Out of the 12 body pieces, only the right leg was cut at its
\njoint, Budi added.<\/p>\n
Budi's colleague Zulhasmar Syamsu told The Jakarta Post Monday
\nthat the murderer was a professional and, based on his
\nexamination of the incisions on the body, might be a psychopath.<\/p>\n
\"It seems that the killer had sawn the body. Judging from the
\nincisions, he or she may have been exacting revenge on the
\nvictim,\" said Zulhasmar, who also works at the Tangerang general
\nhospital, where the body was first kept before being sent for
\nfurther examination at Cipto Mangunkusumo hospital.<\/p>\n
Zulhasmar, who is also a senior team member in the examination
\nof the body, could not be reached for comment yesterday.<\/p>\n
According to Budi, the victim was killed before the body was
\nmutilated, but his team had yet to conclude the cause of death.<\/p>\n
\"We have to find the body segment of the neck to the waist
\nbefore we can make a conclusion about the cause of death,\" he
\nsaid.<\/p>\n
He added that the forensic team had found a bruise on the back
\nof the head.<\/p>\n
\"But that's not the cause of her death,\" he explained.<\/p>\n
Budi identified the victim as a woman between 23 and 35 years
\nold, with short, thick, black hair who had been pregnant during
\nher lifetime.<\/p>\n
The woman was between 148 centimeters and 155 centimeters
\ntall, plumpish, with sallow skin, he said.<\/p>\n
Budi called on people who have missing relatives with such
\ncharacteristics to report to the Tangerang Police.<\/p>\n
The female remains have been kept in a refrigerator at the
\nTangerang general hospital morgue since Monday following the
\ncompletion of the examination of the body at Cipto Mangunkusumo
\nhospital.<\/p>\n
Morgue employee Tono told the Post last night that there has
\nbeen only one man, from Jelambar in West Jakarta, who came to see
\nif the body was that of his relative, who has been missing for
\ndays.<\/p>\n
\"After taking a close look at the remains, the man said that
\nthe body was not his relative,\" Tono said.<\/p>\n
The hospital had been asked by the Tangerang police to keep
\nthe remains for an undetermined period, hoping that the victim's
\nrelatives would appear.<\/p>\n
\"Usually, we bury unidentified bodies after three days,\" Tono
\nadded.<\/p>\n
Police and witnesses said the female remains, packed in three
\ncardboard boxes, were carried by a man, who then asked three
\nteenagers to dump the boxes.<\/p>\n
The police yesterday decided to protect the three teenagers,
\nwhose identities have been widely exposed by print and broadcast
\nmedia, by putting them temporarily under police protection.<\/p>\n
\"We're afraid the killer could also execute these important
\nwitnesses,\" said a police detective.<\/p>\n
Along with the human remains in the boxes, police also found a
\nsaw, a pair of jeans, a T-shirt, an eraser, a pen and a small
\nball. (41\/jun)<\/p>",
