Student burned by jealous girl

JAKARTA (JP): A postgraduate student died on Wednesday night
after receiving treatment at Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital
for severe burns, allegedly inflicted upon him by a jealous
girlfriend two weeks ago.

Police said the victim, John Bosco Handa Ramaris, 50, a
sociology student of the University of Indonesia (UI), was found
two weeks ago by his dormitory friends, screaming in pain in his
room, with his entire body alight in flames.

John screamed to his friends, "Stop that girl! Stop her!" but
as the dorm students tried to stop her, Juma simply said: "Do not
interfere. This is our business!"

Juma ran out of the dormitory, hailed a passing bus, got on
and vanished.

Nobody managed to get hold of her.

Juma reportedly found out that John was a married man who had
fathered a kid in Irian Jaya.

Police found a fuel-filled jerry can at the crime scene and
Juma's sandals, which she had left behind.

Morgue employee at the hospital, Rachmat, said on Thursday
that John's family and friends took his corpse from the morgue at
4 p.m., to return it to John's hometown in Irian Jaya.
