Flat nose deadly frustrating

JAKARTA (JP): A man has killed his lover in Jambi because she refused to undergo plastic surgery to make her nose more aquiline.

Police said the 32-year-old man, who Antara have identified only as Alx, butchered Vivi, 28, Monday, because she had wasted the money he gave her for surgery.

Jambi chief detective Capt. R. Umar Faruq, said the man's frustrations erupted when he discovered that Vivi, a prostitute, had gone out with another guy.

Faruq said her body was found in the street early Monday with stab wounds to her head, neck and arms.

Vivi had no relatives in Jambi. Police have no idea what to do with her body but are keeping it in a Buddhist temple in Kampung Manggis village. (pan)
