Tourist guide died of assault

JAKARTA: A tourist guide was found dead late on Thursday at his home in Puri Indah housing complex in Kembangan Selatan, West Jakarta.

The police found marks on the body indicating that Robertus Lukito, 56 had been attacked.

Housemaid Sri Rahayu, 17, said that her employer's friend Kie San came to visit at about 6 p.m., accompanied by two men. Kie San left an hour later, but the two others stayed.

Sri said she later heard Robertus screaming for help, but she was too scared to come out of her room. After the noises died down at about 10:30 p.m., Sri went out and found Robertus lying on the floor of the living room, while the two men had gone.

Kembangan Police found several wounds inflicted by a blunt object on the victim's forehead and other parts of the head and a tire pump beside his body which they suspected to be the murder weapon.

His body was sent to Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital for an autopsy, while the police are investigating the case. -- JP
