Teenage girl dies after having sex

JAKARTA (JP): An 18-year-old girl died yesterday after allegedly having sexual intercourse with an Saudi Arabian national at the Central Hotel on Jl. Pramuka in Central Jakarta.

The teenage girl, identified as Siti Khadijah, was found unconscious with her mouth full of foam after allegedly having slept with the man, identified as Abdul Rosyid, Central Jakarta Police Chief Lt. Col. M. Ibrahim said.

"A doctor from a nearby hospital tried to help the girl, but it was too late," Ibrahim said. Police speculated that the victim had taken designer drugs.

He said Rosyid is now being held at the police precinct for questioning.

Rosyid said he picked the girl up at the Three House discotheque in Menteng, Central Jakarta.

Khadijah's father, Somapihar, said his daughter once told him that she had a lover, who was working in Saudi Arabia.

"But her lover was not Abdul Rosyid," he told reporters at the morgue of Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital yesterday.

Somapihar, who is a resident of Jl. Kampung Duku, Kramat Djati district in East Jakarta, has two sons and two daughters. (jun)
