A NEWLYWED INDONESIAN couple have been arrested over claims they dined on the genitals of the woman’s suspected rapist after her husband allegedly murdered him and cut off his private parts.
The victim’s body was found in a burnt-out van after a suspected revenge attack sparked by claims from the new wife she was raped a week before her wedding on Sumatra island.
The husband, 30-year-old Rudi Efendi, has admitted murdering the man after discovering his wife was not a virgin on their wedding night in September and being told of the alleged rape, but insists he acted alone.
“I was so outraged,” Efendi told reporters after his arrest last month, adding that deciding to eat the victim’s genitals was “to cure my heartache”.
Police say that after murdering the man, Efendi took home the victim’s severed genitals, ordered his 20-year-old wife to cook them, and the pair then ate them together.
The victim was a driver, whom the wife used to date.
Sulistyaningsih, a local police spokeswoman who goes by one name, told AFP: “The case is still under investigation but we strongly suspect that this is a premeditated murder.”
The husband is accused of carrying out the murder, while police believe the wife acted as an accomplice.
The victim was found dead in early October in a burnt-out van in Tulangbawang district, Lampung province. Police later arrested Efendi and his wife.
Efendi had ordered his wife to contact the victim and set up a meeting, according to police. But when the victim arrived, he found only Efendi, who then allegedly stabbed him to death, cut off his genitals and set the vehicle on fire.

No doubt he’s being paid in cash!
Still hasn’t a bank account?
Sounds like a nice place to name drop in the canteen at work, ” oh Sheilas going to Benidorm for 2 weeks, not my cup of tea but I’m actually flying to Bougainville”. I wonder if the Bougainvillesers know what the Irish think of Bertie though.
Sweet Jesus I hope they didn’t give Ahern the keys of the treasury.
Hope Bertie is not advising them on economics!
I taught was something to do with some nice n popular but ended up being that gibshite
@Alan Carthy: you wanna have another crack at that?
@Aido Yollom: …or less crack before trying that again…?
@Alan Carthy: I’d still take him anytime over that gobs**te Varadakar. While we’re at it could we have Tiny Blair back in power in the UK.
Building a new nation….thank God…more work for Bertie’s pal “Paddy the builder”
@sinead foley-coleman: plasterer
Bertie knows how to get his result, no matter how many referendums have to take place.
Exporting the EU way.
Bertie opening a tax dodge bank there … and may even open an account for himself.
Interesting 60 mins Australia doc on south east Asia and china exerting more influence in the region
@Vote4Pedro: all thru Png now , travel there regularly their influence is everywhere
Can this happen in Ireland
@pat murphy: thirsty for an independent Wexford Pat?
@pat murphy: No.
@pat murphy: Doubtful, we don’t have enough Bougainvillians to fill a football team let alone enough to make a country.
is it true Bertie has advised them not to use bank accounts? Lock up the family silver.
@Angela McCarthy: Sure Bertie never had a bank account.
Is Paddy the plasterer with him, I’m sure theres a bit of work to be done over there!
He doesn’t look so bad compared to the present shower of bluffers
I’ve gone to Google Maps and I’ve seen that there is an island called New Ireland near Bougainville. And another one called New Britain as well. https://www.google.cat/maps/@-4.4341627,152.0409819,7.63z
@Marc Esteve: so that is what he is after. King Bertie of New Ireland.
@Niall: it’s got a very interesting history over the few hundred years. With WW2, volcanoes, civil war, the mine. Beautiful place to visit nice people, though still lots of suspicion towards white people due the mine
Wishing Bertie all the best in his important role in Bougainville Island!
He can always wear his good yellow trousers if he’s asked to become the canary for renewed development in that valuable copper-mine.
Well done Bertie, has to be applauded for getting involved in sorting out a volatile area like this.
Am sure they don’t know who he is. Hoping he don’t encourage that country to come here also for a long stay.
So now we are going to have the Bougainville Fudge a la Bertie Ahearn. The unfortunate people of Bougainville would be well advised to hold off for afew years . Mr Ahearn is globetrotting selling his Good Friday Agreement as a template for peace. Meanwhile we see his own .,he would say, Good Friday Agreement , falling apart by the day.
Please Mr Ahearn, don’t sell these innocent islander people trinkets and glittering baubles like their colonial master did in the past. Your Good Friday Fudge is just that, a fudge, a glittering bauble.
have your say
