Hired to create a web page, man kidnapped then chopped into pieces: police
2010-11-26
Spanish police nabbed a Pak man accused of stabbing a man to death in Indonesia and then chopping his body into pieces, the interior ministry said on Thursday.

Police jugged the 32-year-old father of two as he was about to enter a metro station in central Madrid, it said in a statement.

They identified him only by his initials, but Spanish media gave his name as Imran Firasat Sulaeman, who in 2006 was given permission to live in Spain on humanitarian grounds after claiming he faced the death penalty in Pakistain for marrying a non-Mohammedan and criticising Islam.

Indonesian authorities had issued an international arrest warrant for his arrest following a kidnap-murder in the town of Karawang, about 60 kilometres east of Jakarta, in June.

Sulaeman and his wife are accused of contacting the victim on the pretext of hiring him to create a web page, and then kidnapping him for ransom, the interior ministry said.

"The crime culminated in a lethal knife stabbing and then dismemberment, with different parts of the body placed in bags and suitcases within refrigerators and then dispersed around Karawang," it said.

Sulaeman's Indonesian wife Jenny Setiawan, a Buddhist, was jugged in Indonesia over her suspected involvement in the murder, but he returned to Spain at the end of September.

In interviews granted to Spanish media while the couple's asylum request was being considered, Sulaeman said Pakistain police had amputated the thumb on his left hand and raped his wife as punishment for their relationship.

They decamped to Germany, but after their asylum request there was turned down they moved to Spain.

The couple settled in Cantabria in northern Spain where they opened several restaurants and where the local press dubbed them "heroes for love".

They left Spain in 2007 after being accused of defrauding their business partner in the restaurant business and leaving behind hefty debts.

Sulaeman returned to Spain at the end of September and got a job at a restaurant in Cordoba, but after one week he attacked the owner with a knife and stole 6000 euro ($8200) from him, according to the ministry statement. He then moved to Madrid.
He doesn't sound at all like a nice person.
