        "content": "<p>The funeral of KD, a man who died after being mobbed by a crowd for\nallegedly stealing a chicken in Tabanan, Bali, was filled with the\nheartbreaking cries of his family. A viral video on social media\ncaptured the victim\u2019s daughter weeping over her father\u2019s body. I Made\nSutama, the Perbekel or Village Head of Sidetapa, the victim\u2019s home\nvillage, confirmed the tragic event. He stated that the deceased left\nbehind three children; the eldest is already married, while the second\nchild is in the first year of senior high school and the youngest is in\nthe first year of primary school. Sutama expressed his deep regret over\nthe incident that led to the loss of life, arguing that any alleged\ncriminal act should have been handed over to law enforcement rather than\nbeing resolved through vigilante action. \u2018Mistakes can happen, but a\nperson should not lose their life just because of allegedly stealing a\nchicken,\u2019 he said. Sutama admitted he was devastated when he collected\nthe body and witnessed the children\u2019s sorrow. Amid the grief, the family\nhas chosen to accept the incident as a tragedy and does not plan to take\nlegal action regarding the mob attack that caused the death. According\nto police information, the victim was allegedly caught stealing a\nfighting rooster belonging to a resident. Sutama stressed that violence\nleading to death cannot be justified and reminded the public that\nIndonesia is a country governed by law. He urged the public to hand over\nanyone suspected of a crime to the police immediately, rather than\nresorting to mob violence that could result in fatalities. The mob\nattack occurred in the early hours of Friday, 24 July, at around 1:30 AM\nCentral Indonesian Time. Police are not only investigating the alleged\nchicken theft but are also probing the mob attack that led to the\nsuspect\u2019s death, with officers currently examining witnesses and the\nentire sequence of events.<\/p>",
