JAKARTA (JP): A security guard at metal processing company PT
Perkasa Manis was found dead at the company's compound on Jl.
Darma Wanita, Cengkareng, West Jakarta on Thursday, after being
stabbed by two robbers, a police officer said.

City police spokesman Lt. Col. Edward Aritonang said the
victim, identified as Ignatius Balawa, 62, was believed to have
died from severe wounds all over his body.

"The robbers made away with 25 kilograms of brass metal slabs
from the company, possibly after overpowering Ignatius,"
Aritonang said.

He said Ignatius was found dead at about 7 a.m. with his hands
tied and his mouth covered with tape.

He said the victim, a resident of Kosambi in West Jakarta, was
the only security guard on duty during the robbery.

"The police are still investigating the case," Aritonang
added. (jun)
