Nurse found dead in boarding house

TANGERANG (JP): An eighteen-year-old nurse was found hanged in
the bedroom of her boarding house in Harapan Kita housing complex
in Curug here on Tuesday evening.

The body of Dwi Lestari, who worked at Siloam Gleneagles
Hospital in Lippo Karawaci, was discovered by the owner of the
house, Mrs. Suripto, when she arrived home from Jakarta.

"I called her repeatedly, but she did not answer. I was
worried, so I looked into her bedroom and saw her hanging from a
door frame," she said.

Suripto's hysterical screams attracted her neighbors to the
scene. Some then went to inform the local police at the nearby
Curug police station.

A police officer who helped to remove Dwi's body said it was
too early to tell if the woman had been murdered or had committed
suicide.

However, the victim lacked many of the injuries which would be
expected in a suicide of this nature, the officer, Supriana,
said.

Curug Police chief Capt. Harun Idrus said the case was still
being investigated. "We will summon the owner of the house for
questioning," he added. (ivy/41)
