Two strangled to death

JAKARTA (JP): Taman Sari Police are investigating the murder
of two family members living at Jl. Badila No. 2, Taman Sari
subdistrict, West Jakarta, on Sunday morning.

"Twenty-four-year-old Parianto Chandra and his mother Oen Soen
Jin, 63, were found dead this morning by Farida, Parianto's
sister," Taman Sari Police substation chief Maj. Mulyadi said on
Sunday.

Mulyadi quoted Farida as saying that four guests visited
Parianto at the two-story house at about 10 p.m. on Saturday. She
went to her bedroom on the second floor a few minutes after.

At 2 a.m. on Sunday, Farida went downstairs to use the
bathroom. Before she returned to her bedroom, she saw her mother
watching TV in the living room.

At 7 a.m., she woke up and found her mother Soen Jin lying
dead in the living room and Parianto in his office on the second
floor, he said.

"The killer used a string to strangle Parianto and to tie both
hands behind his back. Soen Jin was also strangled," he said.

"It's possible that the murders were for revenge, since the
killer did not take anything valuable from the house."

Mulyadi said the victims ran a small handset printing company
in their house. Two assistants help run the business. (06)
