Sanjay­a strang­led co-worker and burned her body 'for compar­ing him to fat sumo wrestl­ers'An Indonesian man killed a female colleague and burned her body to reportedly avenge insults regarding his weight, including derisive comparisons to a sumo wrestler. According to Khaleej Times, Ali Heri Sanjaya, 27, was arrested on January 28 after his colleague Rosidah, 18, was found dead in village Banyuwangi, Java. The local police chief said that Rosidah had allegedly mocked Sanjaya in public and compared him to a sumo wrestler, causing him to become ‘bitter’ and ‘hurt’. According to the report, Sanjaya had been planning the murder for a while. He waited for Rosidah outside their workplace on the pretext of dropping her home but took her to a secluded place instead.
