Two killed by guests

JAMBI, Jambi: Two women were killed and one wounded on Tuesday night in what appears to have been a robbery attempt, Antara reported.

Febrita, 30, was found dead with her 14-year-old niece, Yike Routh. Febrita's daughter, Dian Enjel Saputra, was badly wounded while her three-year-old son, Boby, escaped unhurt.

The family who lived in the Sungai Putri district, were last seen receiving two unidentified guests.

"Enjel is still receiving medical treatment but is in a satisfactory condition," Jambi's provincial hospital director Yasril Sari said.

Police suspect the murder happened during a robbery attempt.

Neighbors, however, rejected police claims saying none of the family's belongings disappeared, and Febrita did not own anything worth stealing.

The victim's husband was not at home at the time of the murder. (ste)
