Korean woman murdered

JAKARTA (JP): A South Korean woman, Kang Syun H., 31, was
found dying at her home in Block H of the Graha Mutiara housing
complex in Bekasi on Saturday, police said on Sunday.

City Police member of staff Kohar said the victim was found
still alive at her home, but with very severe bruising to her
legs, back, hands and knees.

Kohar said the first person to find the victim was Chung Kyun
Yong, another Korean national who reportedly worked with the
victim at a garment firm, PT Odyssey.

Chung contacted Iwan, an Indonesian who worked for the victim,
at about 2:30 p.m. on Saturday and told him that Mrs. Kang had
been hurt and needed to be brought to the hospital.

On the way to a hospital in Bekasi, the victim died, Kohar
said.

"According to what Iwan told police, Chung and the victim
often fought, almost every night. Police are investigating the
case," Kohar said.

A forensic specialist at the Cipto Mangunkusumo General
Hospital, Mun'im Idries, said on Sunday that Kang's husband, whom
Mun'im did not name, had told him that Kang had suffered a very
bad fall.

"I don't think so. This looks like a deliberate killing. She
had a badly fractured skull and the bruises all over her body
indicate that this was a deliberate killing, after being
physically abused," Mun'im said. (ylt)
