Suspected child killer tells of pleasures

JAKARTA (JP): The man suspected of sodomizing and killing
eight boys said yesterday that his murders left him feeling happy
and satisfied.

At a preliminary interrogation at the Central Jakarta police
precinct yesterday, 33-year-old Siswanto -- alias Robot --
admitted to strangling his victims, slashing their stomachs and
drinking their blood.

Robot said he would pick up handsome boys at local markets and
take them to the Dunia Fantasi amusement park in the Ancol
Dreamland, North Jakarta. He would then drive them to Proyek
Senen market in Central Jakarta, where he would have anal sex
with them on the second floor.

"I'm a scavenger and earn between Rp 5,000 (US$2.12) to Rp
6,000 a day. I saved my money to make the boys happy at Dunia
Fantasi," he told the chief detective and reporters.

Tickets at Dunia Fantasi cost Rp 21,000 per person.

He said that he only remembers the name of one of the eight
boys.

"I don't remember the others because I only met them once. I
gave them an average of Rp 1,000 each."

He said that after killing the sixth boy, he told his mother
Daliah, who lives in Pekalongan, Central Java, "Mom, I killed a
boy again."

"Why did you do it again?" was her reply, according to Robot.

He said he also told her that he had killed two boys in Kroya
and Pekalongan, but that he had not sodomized them.

"I felt less pleasure and satisfaction if I did not tear the
boys' stomachs," Robot added.

He said he was more satisfied when he kokop (to drink, in
Javanese) their blood.

"I kept the skins of their stomachs and wrapped them up with
newspaper sheets for several days before I threw them away."

Drop-out

Robot said he grew up at a foundation for poor children called
Yayasan Kamelia, on Jl. Galur, in Central Jakarta.

"I went back to my hometown in Pekalongan when I was six years
old and returned to Jakarta when I was 10."

He said he dropped out of elementary school after the first
grade and that he still cannot read.

He said he has been living with his godmother, Mak Unyil, near
the Gaplok market in Senen, Central Jakarta.

"Mak Unyil shared her home with beggars in the area like me.
I love boys, I don't like women or men. I don't know why. I could
never marry a woman." (jun)
