The investigation into the gruesome murder of Franceisca Yofi took a dramatic turn on Tuesday as allegations of a failed love affair with a married West Java Police officer surfaced.

Franceisca was reportedly involved in an obsessive relationship with a mid-ranking police officer identified only as "Comr. A," Bandung City Police chief Sr. Comr. Sutarno told Detik.com during a press conference on Tuesday. Investigators found evidence of the relationship in letters and photographs in Franceisca's home.

When the relationship soured, Comr. A reportedly had his fellow police officers spy on his former mistress, hounding her as she moved to three different homes in an apparent attempt to elude her jilted lover.

"We don't know the reason [she moved], but we suspect it is because of him," Sutarno said. "I think Sisca was trying to avoid [him]."

Homicide investigators found evidence that West Java Police officers were still spying on Franceisca at her most recent address in Sukajadi, Bandung – now a crime scene after two men reportedly dragged the woman a half-kilometer down the road by her hair before mortally wounding her with a machete during a drive-by purse snatching.

"Comr. A asked his officers to spy on the victim," Sutarno said. "The security of the complex [where she lived] admitted it.

Bandung City Police arrested two men, Ade and Wawan, in connection with Franceisca's murder. Both allegedly told police the woman's death was an accident. The men only intended to steal Franceisca's purse, police said.

Investigators interviewed Comr. A and found no evidence that he was involved in his former lover's death. "There's no connection between Comr. A and Sisca's murder," Sutarno said. "He did not kill her, but we are still investigating the case."
