Jakarta Police: Killer of 9-Year Girl Found Dead May Be Pedophile
Jakarta. Police have said the killer of a 9-year old girl found dead on Friday may suffer sexual deviations and have urged parents in the capital city to be cautious.
The Jakarta Police’s general crime unit, Sr. Comr. Krishna Murti said that after investigating the condition of the victim's remains the perpetrator appears to suffer severe sexual deviation.
Krishna previously said the girl found dead in Kamal, an area in Kalideres near the Soekarno-Hatta International Airport, on Friday was likely to have been suffocated to death and sexually assaulted.
"I want to tell the community that this kind of violence happens a lot in Jakarta ... in villages, where kids are supposedly playing safely. This is commonly committed by pedophiles targeting young children," said Krishna.
"These people, under the normal circumstances we can't see the indicators [of pedophilia]," he said.
"Kids overseas are taught, if an unknown person approaches them, they will scream 'Stranger! Stranger!'" Krishna said, adding that Jakartans should be wary of unusual behavior.
