Bystander killed in duel

A worker stabbed one of his colleagues to death over the
weekend while fighting over a prostitute at the Pelapela red
light district in Tanjung Priok, North Jakarta.

The 19-year-old victim, identified only as Sbr, was initially
trying to break up a fight between two other men.

Police said that both of the men, who were intoxicated at the
time, were competing for a date with one of the favorite
prostitutes in the area.

One of them, Suara Pembaruan reported, stabbed Sbr's chest and
stomach. Sbr later died.

The killer also stabbed the prostitute, who was standing near
the scene, in the stomach.

She is currently being treated at Cipto Mangunkusumo hospital
in Central Jakarta. (09)
