Jakarta asked to probe death

PALANGKA RAYA, Central Kalimantan: A former Antara journalist
has asked National Police Chief Gen. Banurusman Astrosemitro to
look his daughter's death, which occurred under unusual
circumstances.

J.F. Nahan refuses to accept the local police verdict that
there was no foul play in her death and that she had committed
suicide, Antara reported.

His daughter, Estrellita Novrisanty, was found dead at the end
of May at the home of her boyfriend. Police said she died after
drinking insecticide. Estrellita had just graduated from senior
high school.

The family believes that the boyfriend had something to do
with the death, bearing in mind that Estrellita was pregnant at
the time. (emb)
