Tattooed corpse found in Ciputat

JAKARTA (JP): An unidentified bare-chested man was found dead
yesterday in Ciputat, South Jakarta, with three gunshot wounds
and several bruises on his abdomen and head.

The man had tattoos on his hands and back but no documents
were found which might have helped the police identify him.

His face was covered in bruises and he was only wearing a red
training suit.

When asked whether the man was shot by the local police, South
Jakarta police chief Lt. Col. SY Wenas said that none of his
personnel had shot any criminals to death in the past three days.

"We're still collecting information in order to identify this
body," Wenas said.

In many cases, police often shoot criminals, who try to escape
from them or resist arrest.

The body of the man was found at around 10:30 a.m. yesterday
near an empty shop, 15 meters from Jl. Pamulang Dua. (bsr)
