AKARTA: A dead body was found inside an apartment at the City Resort Apartments complex in East Cengkareng, West Jakarta, on Friday morning.
The discovery came about following a report from Kwan Kiok Hong, 60, the wife of the apartment's owner Ayaw, 60, who had not returned home for two days straight.
'I decided to go to his apartment. When I banged on the door, nobody answered. There was a bad odor coming from the apartment,' Kwan said as quoted by tribunnews.com.
She decided to ask for help from the police. When the police came and opened the locked door, they found Ayaw's dead body.
'We are still investigating the case,' said West Jakarta Police spokesperson Comr. Herru Julianto.
He said the occupant had stayed inside his apartment for days. A box of catering meals was also found hanging on the door's knob.
'We do not see any signs of trauma on the victim's body,' said Herru.
He added that the corpse had been brought to Cipto Mangungkusumo Hospital in Central Jakarta for an autopsy. The police are questioning witnesses.
