Police handle Ayu's family spat

JAKARTA: The police are looking into actress Ayu Ashari's
complaint that she was physically assaulted by her Finnish
husband, Teemu Yusuf Ibrahim.

"We will be reviewing her complaint, interviewing witnesses
and collecting material evidence before we summon her husband,"
Jakarta city police spokesman Snr. Comr. Anton Bahrul Alam said
on Wednesday.

Yusuf Ibrahim might be detained if the police have strong
evidence he had committed the assault as Ayu, 31, claimed, and in
line with Article 351 of the Criminal Code, Anton said.

The incident happened on March 8 at the couple's residence in
South Jakarta. Anton declined to explain why Ayu filed her
complaint only a few days afterwards.

With Teemu, Ayu, has two children, Sulaiman Atik Ibrahim, 3,
and Mariam, 5. From her first marriage with rock star Djody, she
has a son, Axel, 7.

A mix of Padang and Pakistani blood, Ayu won the 1990 Citra
Award for best actress, and her role in the TV series Noktah
Merah Perkawinan (Red dot in marriage) earned her the Vidia Award
in 1996. --Antara
