Man killed for stealing myna bird<\/p>\n
JAKARTA (JP): A man was killed on Saturday for stealing a bird
\nin Pondok Labu, South Jakarta.<\/p>\n
Twenty-nine-year-old Edy, known as a local thug, was attacked
\nby an angry mob as he tried to sell the myna bird, which he had
\nstolen from a local resident.<\/p>\n
Police officers said a security guard saw Edy steal the myna
\nbird from Sukardi's house. However, the security guard was too
\nafraid to do anything until he met Sukardi's son, Agung.<\/p>\n
On a motorcycle, Agung chased Edy and a companion, Pos Kota
\nreported yesterday. The friend got away, but Edy was surrounded
\nby a group of locals.<\/p>\n
After a severe beating, the group abandoned Edy and the myna
\nbird, which was killed in the incident. Edy died while being
\ntaken by police to a nearby hospital.<\/p>\n
Agung told the local police that he had no idea who asked the
\ngroup to chase Edy nor which one was responsible for killing Edy.
\nEyewitnesses said the group spontaneously chased Edy because the
\nowner of the bird, Sukardi, is respected in the neighborhood.<\/p>\n
Sukardi said that two other birds had been stolen from him in
\nthe past.<\/p>\n
