BEKASI: Bekasi Police said Thursday they suspected the headless body found inside a suitcase was a businessman from a well-off family from outside Muara Gembong, Bekasi.
On Wednesday morning, local fisherman at Muara Bendera Beach in Muara Gembong found a suitcase containing the body of a man. The body had no head, hands or feet.
"Possibly, he was a businessman from out of town, and he was not a Muslim because he was not circumcised," a police officer was quoted as saying by kompas.com.
Police moved the body to Muara Gembong Police on Wednesday afternoon.
Bekasi Police chief Adj. Sr. Comr. Herry Wibowo said they would need to conduct an autopsy to get more clues.
From the police examination, it is likely the victim was discarded two or three days before it was found. The victim was estimated to be between 30 to 40 years old with a height of 165 centimeters. -JP
