Maid found dead in attache's pool

JAKARTA: A housemaid working for the family of Australian
Embassy Police Attache Chief Comr. Max Brisky, was found dead on
Wednesday morning in the house's swimming pool in Tebet, South
Jakarta.

The body of Suyatminah, 19, was found by a security guard at
the house at about 11:20 p.m. It was sent to the Cipto
Mangunkusumo General Hospital for an autopsy.

"We did not find any indications of abuse on her
(Suyatminah's) body," South Jakarta Police chief Sr. Comr.
Ghufron said.

The security guard who found the girl said she was wearing a
swimsuit and had foam coming out of her mouth.

The Brisky family were out at the time, while two security
guards, Suyatminah, another housemaid and a babysitter had
remained at the house.

Saripah, the Briskys' landlady, said the family had rented the
house for the past two years, while Suyatminah, known by her
nickname Sumi, had worked there for only two months. -- JP
