The head of Indonesia's powerful anti-corruption watchdog has been arrested on suspicion of murder amid claims of a love triangle and a conspiracy to destroy the high-profile crime fighter, reports the Times Online.

Antasari Azhar, arguably Indonesia's most powerful legal figure, has overseen a series of successful fraud investigations into government officials and institutions since taking over as head of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), set up two years ago to combat Indonesia's culture of graft. His arrest as a suspect in the murder of Nasrudin Zulkarnaen, a prominent businessman, is a blow to President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, whose image has been boosted by the crackdown on corruption and who is seeking re-election on a platform of good governance. Azhar's lawyer denied that his client masterminded the murder of Zulkamen, the director of a major state-owned pharmacy, describing the killing as a 'grand scenario' to destroy an honourable crime fighter. Azhar has not been charged with the crime, and has denied any involvement.
