Housewife stabbed by guest

TANGERANG, West Java (JP): The police have arrested an
unemployed man for stabbing his friend's wife, after she asked
him to vacate her house which he had been living in for two
months.

A police officer at Jatiuwung police sub-precinct said the
man, Khairullah, 28, got angry when the victim, Hilda, 24, asked
him to vacate her house. Hilda's husband, Zubariya, is a close
friend of the suspect.

Zubariya told The Jakarta Post that the rented house was full
because Zubariya's two relatives also lived there. And
Khairullah's presence bothered the family.

Zubariya said he had no idea why Khairullah got angry with
Hilda's request.

Khairullah admitted to the police that he had stabbed Hilda
several times with a sword. She is being treated at the Tangerang
general hospital.

Zubariya acknowledged that his wife had been the suspect's
girlfriend "a long time ago". (jun/28)
