Last Wednesday (March 31) morning, 25-year-old Indonesian university dropout Zakiah Aini wrote a letter saying goodbye to her family and headed out of the house.
As morning turned to dusk, the quiet millennial’s parents began to worry – there had been no word from Zakiah, who rarely left the family home. They became even more anxious when her sister found the goodbye note.
“Her sister wanted to report her [missing] but didn’t quite know where to report to,” said Reno Fitria Sari, a lecturer in forensic psychology at Paramadina University.
Suddenly, news broke that a woman had attacked the national police headquarters in Jakarta and been shot dead. Soon afterwards, police officers arrived to tell the family that the attacker had been none other than Zakiah Aini.

An underdog Far Eastern University bucked all odds as it eked out a top 10 finish in the super strong Kasparov Chess Foundation University Cup that was recently done online.
Darry Bernardo, a member of the national para chess team that finished fifth in the FIDE Olympiad for People with Disability last year, paced the Tams by scoring eighth out of nine on Board 4 that was highlighted by his shock win over International Master Harshit Raja from University of Missouri A.
FEU’s team A, which also consists of Jeth Romy Morado, Rhenzi Kyle Sevillano, John Merill Jacutina and alternate Kristian Glen Abuton, actually finished tied for seventh with Greece’s National Technical University of Athens A, the United States’ St. Louis University A and Russia’s Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology A with 6.5 points apiece.
