\nentertainment businesses was killed by four masked assailants in
\nthe yard of his second wife's mansion in Pluit, North Jakarta,
\nlate last week.<\/p>\n
\"We're still questioning the driver of the victim and a
\nsecurity guard at a nearby house,\" spokesman for City Police
\nHeadquarters, Lt. Col. A. Latief Rabar, said.<\/p>\n
Latief said the police have confiscated the scabbard of a
\nsamurai blade found at the scene of murder, along with the
\nvictim's Mercedes Benz as evidence.<\/p>\n
\"So far, neither of the two witnesses can identify any of the
\nattackers,\" he explained.<\/p>\n
The businessman, identified as Nyo Beng Seng, alias Darmansyah
\nSuyadi, 57, was stabbed 12 times at 2 a.m. on Friday by a group
\nof at least four masked men in front of his house at Jl. Pluit
\nKencana Raya 128.<\/p>\n
Police sources believe the group was paid by a business
\ncompetitor to kill Beng Seng.<\/p>\n
\"They were very professional and disciplined people. They
\ndidn't take anything from the victim, such as his Rolex watch or
\nhis Mercedes Baby Benz car,\" said an informed police source.<\/p>\n
Besides being widely known as the owner of the Irama Tara
\ncassette and video recording firm, Beng Seng also owned a number
\nof nightclubs, massage parlors and beauty salons. Many of his
\nbusiness activities are located in the Kota area.<\/p>\n
His first wife, Anita, 56, said that Beng Seng, who had lived
\nwith his second wife, Tuti Sulastri, 47, in Pluit for a long
\ntime, was in the habit of playing a Chinese gambling game all
\nnight long.<\/p>\n

\"So far, our families have never been involved in any kind of
\nclash, whether about money or business. In my opinion, we live in
\nharmony,\" Adnan, 30, Beng Seng's son from Anita, told The Jakarta
\nPost.<\/p>\n
Beng Seng's driver, identified as Saman, 45, told
\ninvestigators from the Penjaringan police subprecinct that he
\ndrove his employer to his second wife's house in Pluit from Jl.
\nMangga Besar VIII at about 1:30 a.m. Friday.<\/p>\n
The two-story house, located on a plot of land measuring
\naround 800 square-meters, is equipped with a remote sensor
\ncontrol at its gate and a television monitor.<\/p>\n
According to Ningsih, a housemaid at the victim's residence,
\nthe monitor had not worked for months.<\/p>\n
Quoting Saman, Adnan said that the murderers were waiting for
\nBeng Seng in a minibus parked near the house.<\/p>\n
\"Because the gate was controlled by a remote sensor system, it
\nopened and closed back slowly, so the murderers had the chance to
\nget in,\" Adnan said.<\/p>\n
Saman said that Beng Seng was stabbed as he stepped out of the
\ncar.<\/p>\n
The driver did not realize that something had happened to his
\nemployer until he heard him screaming for help.<\/p>\n
\"I got out of the car, embraced him for support and cried for
\nhelp from his second wife, Tuty, and their 20-year-old daughter,
\nVerawaty, inside at the house,\" Saman said.<\/p>\n
On the way to the Atmajaya hospital, Beng Seng, who is also a
\nKung Fu athlete, spoke in Mandarin to Tuty and Verawaty.<\/p>\n
\"I don't understand what he said as I don't know Mandarin,\"
\nSaman said.<\/p>\n
The businessman died 15 minutes later at the hospital.<\/p>\n
Beng Seng will be buried in Bogor on Wednesday. (bsr)<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/jp3bengseng-1447899208", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
