Bogor man mobbed to death

JAKARTA (JP): A 37-year-old man was mobbed to death by 20
people in an early Friday morning brawl in Kayumanis area in
Matraman, East Jakarta, an officer said.

Jakarta Police spokesman Lt. Col. Zainuri Lubis identified the
victim as Gerinus Uluk Ayanan from Sindang Karya area in Sukamaju
Baru, Cimanggis subdistrict, Bogor.

"His head was nearly spilt open. He was also stabbed several
times until he died," Zainuri said.

"The brawl was apparently personal. The 20 people wanted
revenge against Gerinus. It's still not clear what the brawl was
all about."

At least 13 of the crowd were detained at city police
headquarters, including the mob's leader, identified as Nasir
Said.

East Jakarta Police chief of detectives Capt. Alex Mandalika
could not be reached for further comment. (ylt)
