A student identified by the initial A, 15, died after being attacked by a group while camping at Ompu Temo Beach in Kilo District, Dompu Regency, West Nusa Tenggara. The victim suffered a stab wound to the abdomen.

The victim was taken to Dompu Regional General Hospital for medical treatment, but died in the early hours of Sunday, 8 November 2026.

“The victim suffered a stab wound to the back of the abdomen and received medical treatment at Dompu Regional General Hospital,” Dompu Police public relations chief Iptu I Nyoman Suardika said on Monday, 9 November 2026.

Suardika said the incident began when the victim and several friends were camping on the shore of Ompu Temo Beach. Another group of teenagers suddenly approached them.

The teenagers had come to question the victim and his friends about a stone-throwing incident that had occurred some time earlier. The victim’s group said they knew nothing about it.

The attempt to clarify the accusation became tense. The two groups argued, accusing one another and denying responsibility for the stone-throwing. They eventually began fighting.

“The victim’s group said they knew nothing about the accusation. They then argued, and the two groups began hitting one another. During the incident, the victim sustained a stab wound, allegedly inflicted by one of the suspects,” Suardika said.

News of the assault and stabbing spread among residents near the scene. After receiving a report, police quickly went to the scene to secure the area.

Police investigating the incident identified six people in the group that attacked the victim. They were arrested at 1.30am Central Indonesia Time and taken to Dompu Police Headquarters.
