A 30-year-old man has died after setting himself on fire in his East Jakarta office after a married co-worker rejected his affection, Cipayung Police said on Thursday.
Mochamad Zikra, who worked in the finance department of Indah Cargo Logistic in Setu, East Jakarta, doused himself in some 20 liters of fuel in his office on Wednesday evening at 5:30. He then lit himself on fire and attempted to drag 26-year-old Santi Diosaka Gumelar, a co-worker who he claimed to be in love with, into the blaze.
Santi’s friend Nuroh pulled her away from the fire, and their superior helped the two escape Zikra’s grasp. The three ran out of the room while other employees extinguished the fire.
