Woman found dead beside baby

JAKARTA (JP): A woman was found dead next to a stillborn baby
in her rented room in the Palmerah district of West Jakarta on
Thursday.

Martha Nur, 29, from Flores, East Nusa Tenggara, was found
bleeding on her bed next to her baby girl by her brother Marius.

"We did not hear anything from her room upstairs until Marius
called for help," Sudarno said.

Marius had come to visit Martha that night, he said.

He said Martha had worked as a sales promotion girl but quit
her job after she reached the later stages of pregnancy. She
moved in three months ago and had no other visitors except for
Marius, he said.

Her body was sent to the Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital
and the Palmerah Police are investigating the case. (07)
