Man murders wife's lover

JAKARTA (JP): A jealous husband killed a man whom he suspected was his wife's boyfriend Thursday. The murder took place in Kebayoran Lama, South Jakarta.

The Kebayoran Lama police precinct said that the husband, Rachman, reported what he had done to the police after he murdered Samidi, 40, with a pitch fork.

The police are still looking for Rachman's wife, Semi, who ran away after the incident.

Rachman told police he killed Samidi because he was jealous over an illicit affair his wife was having with the victim.

Samidi's body was taken to the Cipto Mangunkusumo hospital morgue for an autopsy. (01/bsr)
