"We are collecting further information from local police and her family," the ministry`s Director for Indonesian Citizen Protection, Lalu Muhammad Iqbal, noted in a short message here on Wednesday.
Local media in Cambodia reported that an Indonesian woman, identified as Cahyati, was allegedly murdered by her husband, a US citizen named Bilal Abdul Fateen (66) from Illinois.
Fateen had allegedly murdered Cahyati by strangling her to death in the Hometown Suite Hotel room on Street 172 in Phnom Penh, the police noted.
The two checked in to the hotel on March 19, but she was found dead on March 25, the report noted.
The Indonesian Embassy in Phnom Penh was informed about the incident not long after the police broke open the door on Sunday (March 25) night.
"She was allegedly murdered three days before her body was found," Iqbal remarked.
The Indonesian Embassy has worked in coordination with the local hospital to get the result of its Visum et Repertum, which would need some time.
The embassy would follow the legal process to get further information on the perpetrator and his motive.
"On Monday, the Foreign Affairs Ministry met the victim?s mother and sister in Jagakarsa of South Jakarta," Iqbal revealed.
