Woman suspects body parts may be her brother's

JAKARTA (JP): A female university student thinks body parts at
the morgue of Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital (RSCM) could be
those of her brother, a senior forensic expert has said.

Doctor Mun'im Idries said that the girl, Anita, who came with
her younger brother, temporarily believed that the three male
body parts, which were found at three different places in Jakarta
on Sunday and Monday, belonged to her 28-year-old brother, Rahmat
Hudiadi.

"According to her, Rahmat left their home in Cilincing, North
Jakarta, on June 20 and has not been seen since," Mun'im said.

But Anita, the doctor added, was unable to make a final
conclusion since she could not find any significant body marks.

"In the meantime, she only bases her temporary conclusion on
the shape of the three body parts which, she said, are almost
similar to those of her brother, Rahmat," Mun'im said.

Mun'im quoted Anita as saying that there was a clear mark on
her brother's left arm, which is still missing.

"There were injection marks on Rahmat's left arm, as he used
to take drugs," Anita said, as quoted by the forensic expert.

She, therefore, hoped that the missing left arm and head of
the body could be found soon in a bid to ensure the status of her
162-centimeter-tall brother, Mun'im said.

A right hand, left leg and lower portion of the abdomen were
found at the Manggarai floodgate in Central Jakarta on Sunday
afternoon.

In the evening, the upper part of an abdomen was discovered
floating in the Muara Angke fishing port in Sunda Kelapa, North
Jakarta.

The following day, a right leg was found in the Cideng River
in Grogol, West Jakarta.

The body parts were brought to RSCM to be examined and
identified.

Based on a temporarily examination, the hospital's forensic
experts have concluded that body parts belonged to a man between
23 years old and 27 years old, Mun'im said.

The forensic team also found a wound caused by a sharp object
on the right leg and several bruises on the other body parts, he
said.

"The bruises and wound show that the man was tortured, and the
killer (or killers) knew how to get rid of the evidence," Mun'im
explained.

Although Anita has already visited the morgue, Mun'im still
invited people with missing male relatives to take a close look
at the body parts.

"Just come here and help us with this case." (07)
