Suspect’s mental health to be evaluated

JAKARTA: Police will likely summon a psychologist to evaluate the mental health of N., who allegedly ordered the killing of her own daughter, 19-year-old Agnes Kharisma.

“Her physical condition is alright, but we don’t know about her mental health, so we will get help from a psychologist,” South Jakarta Police chief detective Adj. Sr. Comr. Budi Irawan said on Thursday as quoted by detik.com.

Budi said a request had been made to the Jakarta Police Headquarters about getting a psychologist for N.

Agnes’ body was found in a South Jakarta gutter in early February. An autopsy revealed that Agnes had been strangled three days before her body was found. — JP
