Thief burned to death<\/p>\n
BOGOR (JP): An angry mob burned to death a man for stealing
\nelectronic goods from a neighbor in the village of Rawa Panjang,
\nBojong Gede, Bogor on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
An eyewitness said that a new neighbor, Mardi, reported that a
\nthief had broken into his house and made off with electronic
\ngoods early Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n
Local residents assumed that Gunawan, known to be a member of
\na criminal gang, was behind the theft.<\/p>\n
The residents later noticed Gunawan, accompanied by two
\nfriends, carrying the stolen goods, consisting of one television
\nset, a tape recorder and a VCD player set.<\/p>\n
The three were about to get onto an angkot public
\ntransportation van near the Citayam railway station when the
\nresidents intercepted them, said Hasan, the eyewitness.<\/p>\n
\"Gunawan admitted to having stolen the goods from Mardi's
\nhouse,\" Hasan said.<\/p>\n
The angry mob then dragged the three to a nearby soccer field,
\nHasan said. \"Gunawan's two friends escaped.\"<\/p>\n
Police confirmed the killing. \"The mob collected used tires
\nbefore pouring gasoline onto Gunawan's body. We received the
\nreport after the victim was killed,\" Bojong Gede Police chief
\nSecond Insp. Soeharto said. (21\/sur)<\/p>",
