Miffed miners beat mom, son<\/p>\n
BOGOR (JP): Seven illegal gold miners from the Pongkor
\nmountain site allegedly assaulted a 50-year-old woman and her 30-
\nyear-old son after they were barred from using the family's pond
\nnear Nanggung on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
From the Karya Bhakti Bogor Hospital, Sarinam and Umay told
\nreporters on Wednesday that the attack occurred after the men
\nwere requested not to wash their rocks and soil in the pond near
\nCikaniki River.<\/p>\n
\"My son and I approached and politely told them that the pond
\nwas ours and they should not use it without our permission,\"
\nSarinam said.<\/p>\n
The men insulted them and began a frenzied attack, the elderly
\nwoman recalled.<\/p>\n
Their neighbors could not intervene because the suspects
\nthreatened them. The men entered Sarinam's house and vandalized
\nher property.<\/p>\n
The group eventually allowed relatives to take the injured
\npair to the hospital.<\/p>\n
Surinam identified her attackers as Juni, Juhata, Sumanta,
\nJuhadi, Junamat, Arman and Suherma.<\/p>\n
Relatives remained too frightened on Wednesday to return to
\ntheir homes due to the fear of reprisals.<\/p>\n
\"We have not told the police about this because of their
\nthreats,\" Surinam said.<\/p>\n
An officer of the Leuwiliang police subprecinct confirmed he
\nwas unaware of the incident.<\/p>\n
\"We will look into the matter immediately,\" Maj. Arista said.
