Driver killed in quarrel

JAKARTA: JP, a driver's assistant on a public bus plying the
Kampung Melayu-Senen route, was arrested by the police for
stabbing driver Robert Situngkir to death early on Thursday.

The police said that both JP and Situngkir had been involved
in a dispute at the Kampung Melayu bus terminal in East Jakarta
over the division of their daily takings. JP had thought that
Situngkir had been unfair to him and asked for more money.

They both then started fighting. JP then stabbed Situngkir in
the chest. Situngkir was taken to a nearby hospital but he died
on the way.

Jatinegara Police are still questioning JP as the sole suspect
in the case. -- JP
