FRUSTRATED LEGISLATIVE CANDIDATE COMMITS SUICIDE

Tasikmalaya, Apr 15 (ANTARA) - A prospective legislative candidate for Banjar city, Sri Wahyuni (40), of the National Awakening Party (PKB), was found dead at 8 a.m in a rice field in Bangun Jaya village, Langkap Lancar sub-district, Ciamis district on Monday.

Langkap Lancar Police Chief Adjunct Commissioner Toto Suharyanto said the victim was found hanging from a rope from the roof beam of a house.
The victim was well-dressed, wearing a head scarf and jean.
Sukardi, who earlier met the victim going to Cibarogol village asked her why she went alone. But she did not answer Sukardi's question. Then local residents did not know where she was going.
Following an examination of the victim's body, it was temporarily concluded that she committed suicide by hanging herself, because there was no sign of violence on her body.
According to the victim's relatives, she was so disappointed with the result of the legislative elections, because the number of votes she had collected was practically meaningless.
In the meantime, the police had brought the victim to a hospital in Banjar City for autopsy.
