A
man suspected of killing his business partner, Rika Karina, 21, in Medan, North Sumatra, has been arrested. The police also shot him in the leg for “trying to escape”.
“He admitted to the police that he killed [Rika] following a quarrel over a cosmetics order,”Adj. Sr. Comr. Putu Yudha, the head of criminal unit at the Medan Police, said on Thursday.
Rika, an employee at Plaza Milenium, reportedly visited the suspect, Hendri alias Ahen, 31, at his house on Tuesday night. Hendri said they had gotten into an argument because Rika had yet to fulfill a Rp. 4.2 million ($US 301) cosmetics order he had placed on May 31.
“The suspect smashed her head into the wall and stabbed her neck with a knife. He also cut her wrist and killed her,” Putu said.
The suspect reportedly placed Rika’s body in a suitcase, which was then packed in a box and left on Jl, Karya Rakyat, along with the victim’s motorcycle. Hendri reportedly left the scene in a pedicab and dumped the victim’s belongings into the Deli River. (evi)
