JAKARTA (JP): A male corpse was found at the roadside immediately in front of the House of Representatives on Jl. Gatot Subroto, Central Jakarta on Friday.

Tanah Abang Police detective chief First. Insp. Ary Satriya identified the dead man as Bambang S. Suryadi, 44, a resident of Taman Pajajaran B/V/III, Bogor.

"When found, the body was lying in a sleeping position beneath the pedestrian footbridge in front of the House complex," he told reporters.
