Police optimistic in hunt for third Mediterania killer

The police are getting closer to finding a suspect in the murder of Setianti Retno Dewi, 24, who was found dead in her bathroom in Mediterania Garden 2 Apartment building in Tanjung Duren, West Jakarta.
    
“We have obtained information from witnesses, which we believe will lead us to the perpetrator,” Jakarta Police spokesman Sr. Comr. Boy Rafli Amar said Thursday.

He said the police had gathered information from seven witnesses, including the victim's boyfriend, identified only by initial S., a female domestic worker who was the first to find the body, and the apartment building’s security officers.

“We cannot reveal their information. We promise to reveal the case once the murderer is nabbed.”

He said the murder was likely the work of one perpetrator because the victim, who had only moved to the apartment nine days earlier, was a female who lived alone.
 
Boy said the police found out that the victim's three mobile phones and a handbag were missing from the apartment. He said theft could be a possible motive behind the murder, but refused to speculate further.

Setianti, a student from the Institute of Finance (STAN) and a freelance model, was only wearing underwear when she was found dead with wounds to her head, near a toilet bowl Wednesday afternoon.
