Prostitute found dead at brothel

Another prostitute at the Kramat Tunggak red-light district in
North Jakarta was found dead in the brothel in the wee hours
yesterday.

Asih, 25, who hailed from Indramayu, West Java, was the third
prostitute to have been found dead in the red-light district in
the last six weeks.

Unlike the first two, who were found dead with severe bruises
on their bodies, police found no wounds on Asih's body, a police
officer said.

Last month, a deaf prostitute was found dead with wounds on
her body. Police sources said she was serving a customer in her
room prior to her death.

On June 6, 27-year-old Sartini, alias Sari, was found in his
room with bruises on her face and neck. Police believed that she
was murdered by one of her regular customers in her room.

In both cases police found that a host of valuable items
belonging to the victims were lost. (bsr)
