A woman found apparently slain Monday in a Jakarta apartment has been identified as a 28-year-old Japanese who lived in the unit, a local police officer said.
Mudiran, the detective unit chief of a local police precinct in South Jakarta, told reporters Wednesday the body was that of Yoshimi Nishimura, an employee of Yamaha Motor Indonesia Manufacturing, an Indonesian-Japanese joint venture that manufactures motorcycles.
The woman's mother broke into tears upon identifying her body during a 30-minute identification process in a funeral room of the Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital that was also attended by Nishimura's father and witnessed by Indonesian and Japanese police, staff of the Japanese Embassy and a Yamaha employee.
