Elderly woman mugged and killed while heading to church

Police announced Thursday that Suwarti, 63, who was found dead on March 18 on Jl. Latumenten Raya, West Jakarta, was the victim of mugging that went awry.
“We've arrested two suspects in Jelambar on Tuesday. One suspect is still at large,” Jakarta Police spokesman Sr. Com. Rikwanto said.
The three suspects, known by the initials as MSS, KN, and A (fugitive), mugged Suwarti who was walking in front of the Transjakarta bus stop heading to church to attend Sunday mass.
Suspect A rode a motorcycle with MSS to snatch Suwarti's bag, while KN was assigned to monitor the situation.
A and MSS grazed the victim and snatched her bag. Unfortunately, as the victim held her bag tightly, she was dragged behind the motorbike and hit her head on the road surface.
The culprits managed to escape the scene.
Suwarti was found dead at 5:30 a.m. with bruises on her head, nose and mouth by a local resident who was jogging in the neighborhood. The resident reported the case to nearby police station. The police initially suspected that Suwarti was the victim of a hit-and-run traffic accident.
The suspects admitted to police investigators that they were under influence of alcohol at the time of the mugging. “We wouldn't mug her if we were sober,” said one of the suspects.
From the suspects, police seized a cell phone and a scooter.
