woman identified as SN, 22, was found dead by her sister in their home in South Tangerang, Banten, on Sunday night. The victim was found covered in blood, an official has said.
South Tangerang Police crime investigation unit head Adj. Comr. Alexander said the incident was being treated as a murder-robbery.
The victim's motorcycle and cell phone had reportedly been stolen.
SN's boyfriend, identified as RD, was being looked at as a possible suspect in the case.
"The victim's boyfriend had visited her house with his friends," Alexander said, as quoted by wartakota.tribunnews.com.
SN’s sister, who was inside the house at that time of the incident, reportedly heard her sister scream, however when she tried to go to her sister, RD had allegedly stopped her and told her that SN had gone outside.
