Australian Wife Finds Husband Hanging Dead on Terrace in Lombok

jpnn.com, LOMBOK BARAT - An Australian with the initials DJN was found hanging dead on the terrace of his house in the Batulayar area, West Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB).

The victim was found lifeless by his own wife on Thursday (21/10) night.

The incident shocked the victim's wife, who hysterically screamed for help from residents around the scene.

Senggigi Police Chief Adjutant Commissioner Priyo Suhartono suspected that the victim hanged himself using a blue rope that was tied to the iron at the top of the terrace.

At the scene, the police found a chair that the victim allegedly used before committing suicide.

"The police received a report at around 7.30 p.m. local time, then they went there and immediately secure the scene," he said, as quoted by the Lombok Post.

According to Priyo, before committing suicide, the victim told his wife to return to her house in the Suranadi area to prepare for a ceremony.

Arriving at Suranadi, the victim's wife called her husband. However, the call was diverted.
