Two commit suicide in Tangerang

TANGERANG: Two men were found dead in their houses after they
committed suicide at two separate locations in Tangerang on
Sunday evening and on Monday morning.

The victims were Johan Darmawan, 35, a resident of Graha
Lestari housing complex in Jurang Mangu Barat subdistrict, Pondok
Aren district in Tangerang regency and Slamat Ediono, 65, a
resident of Jl. Matahari, Sudimara subdistrict, Pinang district
of Tangerang municipality.

Johan, who was still single, was first found by a relative
identified as Ilham Purtranto, 45, a resident of Jl. Bojong Raya,
Bandung, West Java, who came to visit the victim at his house.

"When I arrived at the house on Friday, the door was locked. I
came back on Saturday but the door was still locked. I returned
again on Monday and the door was still locked so then I asked
neighbors to break into the house. "We found him (Johan) dead in
the house," he said.

The police alleged that the victim was frustrated since he had
failed to find a suitable woman for a future wife.

Separately, Slamat Ediono was first found dead by his wife
Nani, 45 in the house. Before committing suicide, the victim
wrote a letter that reads, "... you just satisfy yourself --
prostitute, money extorter ..."

Cipondoh Police chief Insp. Sudaryo alleged that the victim
committed suicide because his wife, who is still being questioned
by police, had sex with other men.

The bodies were sent to Tangerang General Hospital morgue.--JP
