Police arrest murder suspect

SANUR, Bali: Police have arrested a man for allegedly killing an 18-year-old office assistant last Friday.

Sanur Police chief Adj. Comr. Harjanto Kartiko said here on Wednesday that 24-year-old Denny was picked up from his residence on Jl. Pulau Buaji II No. 2X in the Panjer area on Wednesday.

The body of Achmad Junaedi was found in the restroom of PT Mega Parama, where he worked as an office assistant.

Police found 17 stab wounds on the victim's body.

The medical team at Sanglah Central Hospital said there were two stab wounds to the victim's chest, seven to the neck and eight to the back.

Denny Irawan, a native of Blitar, East Java, had also worked for PT Mega Parama before he was dismissed last July.

Officer Harjanto said Denny had gone to the office last Friday and became embroiled in a heated quarrel with Junaedi, which led to the victim's death. (zen)
