Inhumane teenagers

From Media Indonesia

I read in Media Indonesia of Sept. 14, 2000 that Aditya Wicaksono, a fifth grade elementary school pupil, was killed when he was pushed out of a moving train after being robbed by some teenagers. Unsatisfied with the cash of Rp 4,000 they had robbed Aditya of, the teenagers allegedly tortured and then pushed him out of the moving KRL Jabotabek train in Pasar Minggu, South Jakarta.

As I personally and firmly do not regard this as a case of juvenile delinquency, I suggest that the police take stern measures immediately to apprehend those involved in this crime and bring them to court. These youngsters were indeed very savage and inhumane. There is no other way to stop things like this but to punish those involved severely. I think the judge should consider capital punishment for the guilty parties in this case.
