Man jailed for murder

JAMBI, Jambi: A man was sentenced to 30 months in jail
yesterday by Jambi District Court for murdering his girlfriend in
January, Antara reported.

Frans Lukmana alias Alek, 31, denied any role in the death of
Vivi Sumanti.

Frans said that on the night of the murder, he consumed one-
and-a-half Ecstasy pills at their hotel room. The next thing he
remembered was waking up at the police station the following day
and being charged with murder.

The state prosecutor had earlier demanded four years'
imprisonment.

Vivi's father was displeased with the lenient sentence and
vowed to pursue other legal channels to seek justice. (09)
