Dead woman found in police's home

JAKARTA (JP): A woman was found dead at the residence of
Cianjur Police chief Adj. Sr. Comr. Mamat R. Subekti located in
the Pengadegan subdistrict of Pancoran, South Jakarta, on Tuesday
night.

The woman, Sarfah, 54, was a relative of Mamat's wife, Rosita,
according to South Jakarta Police officers.

Residents found Sarfah lying in a pool of blood with severe
head injuries in the living room of the Cianjur Police chief's
residence, located in the National Police residential complex.

The maid, Yuli, said Sarfah had instructed her at 12 p.m. on
Tuesday to go to Cianjur to run an errand for Rosita.

Sarfah had told Yuli that she was to return to Jakarta in the
same day as Sarfah wanted her company.

By the time Yuli returned, at about 8 p.m. on Tuesday, she
found the doors locked, and all the lights turned off. Yuli asked
for help from the neighbors.

Together they pried a window open, and immediately discovered
Sarfah's body in the living room.

"We also found a cup of tea and some cake on a table on the
terrace. There's a possibility that the victim knew her
attacker," Pancoran Police chief Adj. Comr. Wiyarso said, adding
that a video compact disc (VCD) player and two printers were
missing from the residence. (ylt)
