Severed head meets body in Purworejo

JAKARTA (JP): A severed head discovered in Jakarta last Friday
matched a body found in Bajan, a district of the Central Java
city of Purworejo, Jakarta Police chief Maj. Gen. Noegroho
Djajoesman said on Monday.

"But we are still waiting for the results of blood tests
before making a final conclusion about whether the two parts
really match," Noegroho told The Jakarta Post in a telephone
interview.

The head of a teenage boy was found by a bus conductor at the
Kampung Rambutan bus terminal in East Jakarta on Friday.

A group of city police detectives took the head on Saturday to
Banjan, where the body of a teenage boy was discovered.

The victim's identity has not yet been established and police
are continuing their investigation into the murder. (ylt/04)
