Employee kills boss for scolding him

JAKARTA (JP): An employee has been arrested for allegedly
murdering his boss, a home industry entrepreneur in Kapuk, North
Jakarta, police said.

City Police Spokesman Lt. Col. E. Aritonang said yesterday the
alleged killer, Solihin, 21, was arrested at his hideout in
Rangkasbitung, West Java, Sunday night.

"Solihin was suspected of killing Tjong She On, 43, the other
night at Tjong's toy factory on Jl. Kapuk Raya, Gang Las, North
Jakarta," Aritonang said.

Solihin said Tjong had scolded him because he did not show up
for work on Friday. Solihin left the factory early Saturday and
made plans to kill Tjong in revenge, Aritonang said.

Solihin allegedly went back to the factory that night and
killed Tjong by beating him over the head with a monkey wrench, a
piece of wood, a hammer and plastic pipe.

A forensic expert from Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital
estimated that Tjong's time of death was between 17:10 p.m. and
21:10 p.m. Saturday. Aritonang said police had questioned five of
Tjong's employees and relatives.

Several valuables at Solihin's hideout were confiscated,
including a beeper, a gold ring, a wallet and Rp 800,000
(US$327), which he allegedly stole from the victim.

Tjong's relatives have denied Solihin's accusations about
Tjong, saying that Tjong had never scolded any of his 11
employees. (cst)
