Woman commits suicide in Tangerang

A 17-year-old woman who was taking a course at the Granita
Foundation, a baby sitter supplier in Cipondoh district,
Tangerang municipality, committed suicide on Tuesday morning.

The victim, Rojana, an elementary school graduate from
Lampung, had just returned to her boardinghouse near the
foundation on Tuesday morning after spending the night at her
uncle's house with a colleague named Esty.

She was found dead in her boardinghouse at about 7 a.m.
hanging from a piece of black plastic rope. The suicide was
reported to the Cipondoh Police at about 8 a.m.

Tangerang Police deputy chief Comr. IGD Sugianyar said the
victim was upset because Esty had told her that her uncle had
sexually assaulted her the night before.

Rojana's body was taken to the Tangerang General Hospital
morgue.

As of Tuesday afternoon, the police were still trying to
locate the victim's uncle. --JP
