Indonesian Woman Hanged by In-Laws (UPDATED INFO)

[Vedderman]

19 year old woman was discovered by her niece about 30 minutes after she had last been seen. She told her family that she wasn't hungry and was skipping lunch and shortly after the meal, they found her.

She had hanged herself in a doorway using a plastic rope. Her family stated that it was obvious she was dead so they chose to call the police rather than tamper with the body.

The police report submitted to the newspaper conveyed the following data:

Neither rigor nor livor had set in yet, which is unsurprising given the short amount of time she'd been dead.

No injuries or abnormalities were noted with her head. Her tongue was not protruding past her lips, but she had bitten it while asphyxiating in the noose. There was a ligature mark that matched the plastic rope in its contours, with the skin just above it being slightly bluish.

A significant amount of fresh saliva was found down the front of her tshirt and her hands were not clenched (as is often seen in hanging). She had no injuries on the abdomen or torso.

Typical of a hanging death, she had been unable to control her bladder while fatally asphyxiating. The report indicated that her genitals were still wet with urine when examined, as were her underpants. 'Yellowish liquid' that was presumed but not tested to be urine was on the floor beneath and behind her body.

Her knees had several bruises and contusions that both her family and the police considered suspicious. She was barefoot when she hanged herself, but no injuries were noted on her feet.

She did not leave a note and the family has requested an autopsy to confirm suicide.

Note: The arrows and circles on some images were placed at the source. If they have relevance, it was not disclosed and I did not bother speculating.

Also, the two videos have some overlap but were actually taken with different cameras and do have several differences.

UPDATE: This case has been determined to be murder after all.

Interestingly enough, this case has actually been determined to be a murder. Guess it's a good thing her parents pushed for an autopsy. A contusion was found on the back of her head, as well as skin and hair under her nails.

The woman's husband, brother-in-law, and mother-in-law were all arrested this morning and confessed.

The three were collectively fed up with the young woman refusing to help around the house or do any work expected of her. An argument broke out over making coffee and apparently it just jumped off.

The husband knocked her down and banged her head against the ground, which stunned her. His brother grabbed and helped hold her down while the 46 year old mother-in-law went into the kitchen and got a rope. The brother held her legs down while her husband used the rope to strangle her into unconsciousness.

Once she was no longer struggling, the three of them used the same rope to noose her up and then dropped her weight, allowing her to strangle to death in a simulated suicide in a doorway. According to them, she never regained consciousness after the strangulation and blow to the head, but this allowed her death to have all of the appearance of an actual suicide.

Hanging photos are increasingly harder and harder to find over the past decade.

I spent probably two hours on this set and found nothing but censored garbage until I found the FB page of one of the first responders. He had a bunch of stuff up.

The real trick most of the time is knowing to check the comments and not just the posts. Sometimes tricky with 500+ comments on a single thread, especially in a different language. But if you dig past the surface, that's usually where the goods are.

I really respect your time and effort for this (and all your other) post ( s), but the hanging bride killer is probably still out there you really should catch that guy or something!

I'm more surprised by her confidence in that thin wire/rope

That's a sad story indeed Yeah, I'm a "Western Feminazi" for all that matters and it does sound like her in-laws were not content with her hence possibly decided to eliminate her for good. What is so wrong with divorce? On a cognitive level, I understand why getting a divorce might be so difficult an issue in many societies. On an emotional and cultural level, I do not and most likely never will.

After all this preaching, many thanks to you Vedderman for your effort
