Greater Jakarta: Pregnant woman murdered in Tangerang

T

he mutilated body of a 30-year-old pregnant woman was found in a rented room in Cikupa, Tangerang, on Wednesday.

Cikupa Police chief Comr. Gunarko said that when found, the body was wrapped in a large plastic sack. “The victim is also six months or seven months pregnant. When the body was found, the arms and legs of the victims had been cut off,” he said, as quoted by kompas.com.

Gunarko said the crime was uncovered when other tenants reported a foul smell coming from the room.

“We have not yet been able to identify either the victim or her killer. However, the woman was around 30 years of age,” he said.

Gunarko said the tenants knew little about the victim. They only knew that she lived with her husband.

The body was taken to the Tangerang regional hospital for autopsy.
