Construction worker killed

JAKARTA (JP): A construction worker was mobbed and stabbed to
death yesterday by three men after a drunken party in a makeshift
house behind a hotel in Jl. Rasuna Said, South Jakarta.

Jakarta Police Spokesman Maj. Nyoman Suriasta said local
residents found Alfian, 29, lying in the house behind the Gran
Melia hotel.

"Police have identified the suspects. We hope we will arrest
them soon," Nyoman said.

Alfian, who is survived by a wife and son, suffered severe
stab wounds to his stomach, chest and head.

According to witnesses, Alfian grabbed a guitar from one of
the suspects which started an argument.

Witnesses said Alfian, who lived in Jl. Subur, Menteng Atas
sub-district, was a known hoodlum in the area. (jun)
