TANGERANG: A maid was found dead with severe head injuries and cuts in the Bank Tabungan Negara housing complex in Tangerang municipality Saturday morning.

"We strongly suspect she was killed by her close friend. We are still investigating this case to confirm what happened," Tangerang detective chief Adj. Comr. Zulkifli said, as quoted by Antara.

The body of Srimulyanti, 18, was found by a neighbor, Topan, around 300 meters from her employers' house, where she also lived.

The employers, Anti and Eko, said they realized Srimulyanti was not sleeping in her bed in their house the night she died, but they did not suspect anything.

"We thought she was sleeping in her sister's room," Anti said.

Srimulyanti's sister also worked for the family.

Anti said Srimulyanti, who had worked for the family for a year, was well-behaved and did her job diligently.

"She never stayed out late at night," she said.

Srimulyanti's body was taken to Tangerang Hospital for an autopsy. -JP
