Two bodies found in trees in Cianjur

CIANJUR: Two unidentified bodies were found hanging on trees near Citarum River in the West Java town of Cianjur on Saturday.

Local chief of detectives Adj. Comr. Wandy Aziz said the bodies, aged between 30 and 40, were believed to be victims of murder.

The bodies were discovered by residents in Haur Wangi village in Bojong Picung subdistrict. The bodies were then taken to Cianjur General Hospital by the police, accompanied by the residents.

Murder has been on the rise in the town in recent weeks. Two other bodies were found last Wednesday near Cikundul River in Sukanagalih village, Pacet subdistrict.

The police said the two were believed to be killed by a mob in another village, who had accused them of stealing motorcycles. --Antara
