Man arrested for lover's death

JAKARTA (JP): Police have arrested a man for allegedly killing
his lover in a hotel in Central Jakarta on Friday, a police
officer says.

Central Jakarta Police Chief Lt. Col. Abubakar Nataprawira
said yesterday the suspect, identified only as Yul, said he
"finished" his lover because she insisted they marry after having
sexual intercourse.

The suspect and the victim met three days before the killing,
Abubakar said. Police picked him up at his home in Manggarai,
South Jakarta, on Monday.

The suspect, a 30-year-old employee of a private firm, told
the police he killed his 24-year-old lover, Sudinar, by
suffocating her with a wet towel. The killing reportedly took
place at the Hotel Raden Saleh, Abubakar said.

According to Yul, he met Sudinar at the Kalibata Mall in South
Jakarta. After a series of telephone conversations, they both
agreed to meet on Friday.

They went to Ancol Dreamland and talked before deciding to
proceed to the hotel at around 6:00 p.m. (bsr)
