Herbal drink-seller killed by police<\/p>\n
JAKARTA (JP): A seller of jamu (herbal drinks) was beaten to
\ndeath on Wednesday night, allegedly by an angry officer of the
\nNational Police elite mobile brigade (Brimob), in front of a
\npolice dormitory at Brimob Headquarters in Kelapa Dua, Depok.<\/p>\n
The corpse of Syahrial, 22, lay at Cipto Mangunkusumo General
\nHospital (RSCM) morgue on Thursday, was marked with bruises and
\nhad yet to be examined by forensic doctors.<\/p>\n
According to witness Second Pvt. Samuel, Syahrial usually sold
\nhis drinks to police officers outside a police dormitory at
\nBrimob Headquarters.<\/p>\n
On Tuesday night, Samuel said, Second Pvt. Nyoman had been
\ndrunk and had vomited on the spot where Syahrial usually sold his
\ndrinks. The act led to a squabble, but nothing more, Samuel said.<\/p>\n
The next day, Samuel said, Nyoman apparently realized his
\nmistake and had gone to apologize to Syahrial.<\/p>\n
\"However, Syahrial had two Brimob officers standing beside
\nhim, on Wednesday night. This made Nyoman very angry. He probably
\nfelt that he had come to apologize for his behavior, but instead,
\nSyahrial had ratted on him,\" Samuel told reporters.<\/p>\n
\"So, Nyoman began to beat Syahrial, very badly. Syahrial tried
\nto escape and reached our security post...I was working at the
\npost that night so I saw the incident. We tried to rush Syahrial
\nto the hospital, but he died on the way.\"<\/p>\n
There was no information made available about the two other
\nBrimob officers.(ylt)<\/p>",
