Wife finds husband dead in well

BEKASI: A 25-year-old man missing since Tuesday was found dead by his wife in a well at their house in Kranggan Wetan village in Jatisampurna district, Bekasi, on Thursday night.

Ecih, 22, said her husband Namin had gone out on Tuesday evening as it was hot in the house but failed to return home. She assumed that he had gone to a friend's house.

It was not until around 11:30 p.m. on Thursday that Namin's body was found in the 20-meter deep well.

"I hadn't noticed anything unusual about my husband's behavior. And we were getting along well," said Ecih, who was still in shock.--Antara
