Soccer fan shot dead in robbery<\/p>\n
Evi Mariani, Jakarta<\/p>\n
A 24-year-old man, Tarmudi, was killed early on Thursday morning
\nafter buying coffee at a stall near his house to stay awake for
\nthe Euro 2004 soccer match between Portugal and Russia.<\/p>\n
Tarmudi left his house in the Serua Poncol housing complex in
\nCiputat, Tangerang, shortly after the earlier Euro match between
\nSpain and Greece ended at about 1 a.m. The victim, riding a
\nmotorcycle belonging to his uncle, Nurdin, was accompanied by a
\ncousin, Tuti Alawiyah, 18.<\/p>\n
As they were returning home, Tarmudi and Tuti passed two men
\nriding on a motorcycle coming from the opposite direction. The
\ntwo assailants performed a U-turn and gave chase after the
\nvictims, eventually cornering them.<\/p>\n
One of the men pointed a gun at Tarmudi and told him to get
\noff his motorcycle. Tarmudi refused and the man shot him in the
\nstomach.<\/p>\n
Despite his wound, Tarmudi was able to speed off on his
\nmotorcycle, getting about 20 meters away before losing his
\nbalance and crashing.<\/p>\n
Tuti then began yelling for help, apparently scaring away the
\nrobbers, who fled the scene.<\/p>\n
Acoy, a resident, heard Tuti's shouts and ran out of his house
\nto find the pair in the street. He drove Tarmudi and Tuti to a
\nnearby clinic, but Tarmudi died en route.<\/p>\n
Tuti reported the shooting to the Ciputat Police. Detectives
\nwere deployed to the scene, accompanied by Tuti to identify the
\nsuspects.<\/p>\n
As of Thursday afternoon, police were still searching for the
\nsuspects.<\/p>",
