Japanese woman found murdered

TANGERANG: A 62-year-old Japanese woman was found dead in
a bathroom at her home in Perigi Baru village, Pondok
Aren district, Tangerang regency, late on Monday.

Tangerang police chief Sr. Comr. Harry Prastowo said
on Tuesday that the woman, identified only as Michisenda, was
murdered by a screwdriver to the head, which was found in the
victim when police arrived on the scene.

According to Prastowo, two local security men's suspicions
were aroused because they saw that the house was locked since
Saturday. When they knocked on the door, there was no answer, but
there was an unpleasant smell coming from inside.

The two men then broke into the house and found the woman,
wearing blue pants and a beige T-shirt, lying on the floor. The
body had already begun to decompose.

The security men also found out that the victim's car, a
silver Kijang minivan with license plate 'B 2820 PP' was missing,
and that the driver, called Achmad, had not showed up for
three days.

The police have pointed to the driver as the main suspect in
the murder. But Achmad is still at large, his whereabouts
unknown. --JP
