Motive unclear for politician's death

BONDOWOSO, East Java: Police said on Monday they had
questioned around 40 witnesses over last week's murder of a
politician, his wife and son in the East Java town, Bondowoso.

However, no suspects were named as the police had yet to
discover any fingerprints.

Besuki Police chief Sr. Comr. Winarso ruled out robbery as
being behind the deaths of Suwarjo from the Indonesian Democratic
Party of Struggle (PDI-P), his wife, Wiwik, and son, Dodi, citing
no valuables were stolen from the victims' house.

Based on initial investigations, he said, the incident could
either have been politically motivated or was indicative of a
family vendetta. --Antara
