Witness in museum theft found dead

JAKARTA (JP): An expert witness in the investigation into the theft of valuable statues from Radya Pustaka Museum in Surakarta, Central Java, was found dead on the side of the highway outside of Sleman, Yogyakarta, on Saturday morning.

Lambang Babar Purnomo, 57, was found dead near his motorcycle, Antara reported.

Police said there were a number of visible wounds to Lambang's body, but they were still investigating what caused these wounds.

Head of the Central Java Archeological Preservation Board, Tri Atmaji, went to Sardjito Hospital, where doctors performed an autopsy on Lambang, and identified the body.

"There is no indication of robbery because his motorcycle, cell phone and wallet were still at the crime scene," Tri said.
