Four bodies found near toll road

JAKARTA (JP): The bodies of four males, believed to be murder
victims, were found near the Cikampek toll road in West Karawang,
West Java, late on Saturday, Antara reported on Sunday.

Karawang Police chief Adj. Sr. Comr. Hulman Dultom said an
investigation was underway to ascertain the identities of the
four men.

The bodies were found by an unidentified passerby who then
reported his discovery to the nearby office of state-owned toll
road management company, PT Jasa Marga.

The four men, all of whom were believed to be between 20 and
30, sustained slash wounds.

The bodies of the men were found in the one place under bamboo
trees. Three of them were heavily tattooed.

Hulman, who visited the state-run Karawang General Hospital
where the bodies are being kept, said the investigation would be
directed at ascertaining whether the bodies were connected with a
shooting incident that took place at the 19th kilometer of the
Cikampek toll road on Saturday afternoon.

The bodies will be sent to state-run Cipto Mangunkusumo
Hospital in Central Jakarta for postmortem examinations.

Police were unable to find any clues that could help identify
the men, except for some Rp 100 coins and a small paper bag of a
type usually used by street singers to collect money. (emf)
