Dispute between residents studied

Dispute between residents studied

Police are currently investigating causes behind perennial
disputes between two groups of residents in Kwitang in Central
Jakarta.

Speaking to reporters here yesterday, City Police chief Maj.
Gen. Mochammad Hindarto said that he hoped to determine the
source and finally put an end to the disputes between Pasir and
Kwitang residents.

The latest dispute between the two neighbors led to the death
of a sailor on Sunday. The victim was apparently stabbed and
later incinerated by at least 15 residents in the Kwitang
neighborhood. Seven of the suspects were arrested shortly after
the incident.

Hindarto stated that Central Jakarta police are handling the
case and taking it very seriously. (bsr)
