Ariani, the 20-year-old maid who was stabbed and left to die in a burning house in Jalan Siaga, Pasar Minggu yesterday, succumbed to her injuries and passed away.
Ariani was stabbed 15 times by a suspected robber yesterday morning. She was rescued just in time from the burning house and taken by locals to a nearby hospital.
But her injuries proved to be fatal.
“The victim passed away at 5pm [on Wednesday],” said Triyogo, head of the Crime Investigation Unit at the Pasar Minggu Police, as quoted by Kompas yesterday.
The perpetrator has not yet been identified.
Ariani was with her 11-year-old daughter in the house when the robber broke in yesterday morning. The robber stabbed Ariani before setting fire to the house. Ariani’s daughter was sleeping in another room at the time of the incident. Locals managed to get both out in time before they were completely engulfed in the fire.
The owners of the house were away at the time of the incident.
