For calling him fat, a man killed his female colleague and burned her after in Indonesia.
According to a report by Indonesian media Suara.com quoted by AsiaOne, the incident happened in a coconut plantation last January 24.
The man named Ali Heri Sanjaya, 27 was arrested on January 28.
His colleague Rosidah, 18, was found dead in a village in Banyuwangi, Java.
They’ve both worked in a restaurant and have known each other for years and even lived in the same neighborhood.
Bayuwangi Police Chief Commissioner Arman Asmara Syarifuddin told reporters that Rosidah had allegedly bullied Ali, called him fat and compared him to a sumo wrestler in front of others, causing him to become “bitter” and “hurt”.
Arman added that Ali planned the attack for a week. He waited for Rosidah and asked her to give him a lift home.
When they reached the coconut plantation at Pondok Nongko Village, he asked her to get off the vehicle, strangled her and set her body on fire using gasoline that he had bought.
He also sold Rosidah’s motorcycle and phone for 5,250,000 rupiah (Dh1,416.36).
If he gets convicted for the murder, he will face capital punishment or imprisonment from 20 years to life.
