Four students arrested

JAKARTA (JP): The police yesterday arrested four technical high school students who allegedly killed another high school student in a fight on Jl. Taman Puring in South Jakarta.

South Jakarta Police Chief Lt. Col. Sisno Adiwinoto said the victim, Fuadi Suhaimi, a student of STM aviation technical high school, was allegedly attacked by the four students of STM Purnama technical high school on March 21.

He said one of the assailants, identified as Nurrahman, slashed the back of Fuadi's head with a sword.

"A grudge was behind the fight," he added.

Fuadi, 15, had boarded a Metromini bus to go home when students of the other technical high school attacked the bus.

Fuadi and a friend were in the back of the bus and fell out when the driver sped up to avoid the attack.

The mob then kicked and beat Fuadi and his friend. One of the students slashed the back of Fuadi's head with a sword.

Fuadi, a resident of Jl. Joglo, Kebun Jeruk district, West Jakarta, was dead on arrival at the Pertamina hospital. His friend was treated at the same hospital. (04)
