Body parts found in floodgate

JAKARTA (JP): Three separate body parts from an adult male
were discovered by a Manggarai floodgate watcher on Jl. Tambak in
South Jakarta on Sunday afternoon.

Menteng Police chief Capt. Paulus Water Pau said the right
hand, left leg and the lower portion of the abdomen were found
floating in the waters of the floodgate.

Officer Paulus suspects the man was victim of a vicious
murder.

"There is only a portion of the male genitalia found on the
abdomen. We are searching for the rest of the man. The left foot
itself has its two toes missing," he said.

The discoveries were first reported by the floodgate watcher,
Soeharjo, 37. The abdomen was found first, followed by the left
leg and then the right hand.

A witness, Ujang, said that the body parts were slightly
decomposed.

All of the body parts have been sent to the Cipto Mangunkusumo
General Hospital for a post-mortem examination. Usually, the
hospital allows people with missing relatives to view the body
parts to determine if they could be their missing relative. (ylt)
