Police in South Jakarta say they are coordinating with the United States Embassy to formally question the American boyfriend of a teenage girl whose body was found dumped in a gutter on Sunday.
An autopsy revealed the girl, Agnes Kharisma, 19, had been raped and strangled three days prior to the discovery of her body. She had also reportedly been robbed of Rp 1 million.
Jagakarsa Police chief of detectives First Insp. Rusdi Dalby told news portal Detik.com on Friday that Agnes was last seen by her family on Tuesday as she left to meet her boyfriend, a 50-year-old American identified as Clark. He reportedly lives in Cilegon, Banten.
Rusdi said Clark, however, told police informally that he had not seen her.
It has previously been reported that Clark’s driver had picked Agnes up from her home in Lenteng Agung, as he had done on a number of prior occasions.
Dalby said the police had not officially questioned Clark or his driver because they were still coordinating with the US Embassy.
“We must interrogate the boyfriend, then the driver. We can’t be reckless because the case involves a foreigner. We are still coordinating,” he said.
