Irate man stabs relative to death

BOGOR (JP): Mamad, a forty-year-old resident of Muara Kampong
in Citeureup subdistrict, died after being stabbed by a relative
on Monday, police said.

Mamad died of severe abdominal wounds from the attack by a man
identified as Nandang. His body was taken to PMI Hospital's
morgue in Bogor.

The incident reportedly began after Nandang was infuriated by
Mamad's son, Nanang, who was playing ball in his yard at noon on
Monday. He reportedly hit the 10-year-old boy.

"I don't know why Nandang punched my son. Maybe it's because
my son got into a quarrel with Nandang's stepchild. I really
don't know," Mamad's wife Enung, 35, said.

Mamad went to Nandang's house to clarify the matter later in
the afternoon.

Nandang reportedly became enraged and attacked Mamad. Mamad's
other son, Iwan, 19, tried to break up the fight but failed.
Neighbors asked Mamad to leave the house to calm the situation.

Witnesses said the enraged Nandang followed Maman and stabbed
him. He fled the scene with his wife and children.

"I could have helped my father. I didn't know that Nandang was
carrying a knife," Iwan said.

Police are searching for Nandang. (21/edt)
