Two bodies found, with stab wounds

JAKARTA (JP): Two male bodies, each marked with a dozen stab
wounds, were found in two separate locations here on Tuesday.

Morgue staff at the Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital (RSCM)
identified the first corpse as Hidayat bin Cecep, 21, and the
second as Mawardji, 26.

Hidayat was found with 13 stab wounds, some 300 meters from
his residence in the Pondok Pucung village of Pondok Aren,
Tangerang.

Mawardji, a resident of Kebon Jeruk, West Jakarta, was found
under the Permata Hijau bridge, South Jakarta, with 12 stab
wounds.

City police spokesman Sr. Comr. Anton Bachrul Alam said that
police had yet to find a link between the cases, and that
Tangerang Police were currently handling the Hidayat case, while
South Jakarta Police were handling Mawardji's.

"In the case of Hidayat, who was a farmer, police say that his
family last saw him on Monday night, and that he had no enemies,"
Anton said.

"In Mawardji's case, South Jakarta police suspect that he was
murdered by his friend. Give us time to investigate the case
further." (ylt)
