Malaysian man deceived in hotel

JAKARTA (JP): A Malaysian woman had reportedly stolen goods
worth Rp 100 million (US$41,666) from a Malaysian man whom she
met and slept with in a hotel, on Jl. Kramat Raya, in Central
Jakarta yesterday.

A police sergeant at the Central Jakarta Police precinct said
Komarudin Kamba, 51, met the woman, identified as Kristina, in
Acacia Hotel Wednesday night.

He said Komarudin who lived in North Jakarta booked a room
with Kristina's Malaysian passport.

"Komarudin woke up at 8 a.m. and found that the woman had left
with his belongings," the officer said.

He said the woman made away with three diamond rings, a gold
necklace, a gold belt buckle, a Rolex wristwatch, as well as
US$150 and Rp 1.5 million in cash from the victim.

It was presumed that the woman put barbiturates into
Komarudin's drink before he slept, the sergeant said.

It was believed that the woman had invited a male accomplice
to the victim's room later and stole the goods, he said. "It was
probably committed by a crime syndicate." (jun)
