Wahyuana, The Jakarta Post, Bekasi

Bekasi Police released late on Monday a sketch of Yusuf, the sole
suspect in the brutal murder of 11-year-old Heni Febrina Purnama
Sari.

"The rough sketch was made based on witnesses' information
about the man, who was last seen with the victim and rented the
studio apartment where the body of the victim was found," the
chief detective Yudi AB Sihaeloe said.

The suspect is thought to be about 25 years old and 165
centimeters tall with a dark complexion.

The victim, Febrina, was found dead on Feb. 21 in the bathroom
of the empty studio apartment on Jl. Masjid Arrahmah in Jati
Rahayu subdistrict, Bekasi.

An autopsy concluded that she had been dead for four days. She
was last seen alive on Feb. 17.

According to the owner of the apartment, which is located not
far from Febi's house in the Sinar Kasih housing estate in
Jatimakmur, Pondok Gede, the suspect had just rented the place on
Feb. 2.

The owner said the suspect claimed he worked for a labor
supplier and refused to give him a copy of his ID card.
