Jail term sought for alleged killers

TANGERANG (JP): A prosecutor asked the Tangerang District
Court on Tuesday to sentence two people to 20 years in jail each
for a premeditated murder of their friend who refused to lend
them Rp 20,000 (US$2.35).

Prosecutor Hotmaida told the court that defendants Subarja bin
Kubil, 19, and Hubudin bin Sahrani, 23, were guilty of killing
Kaman bin Jasiman, 20, in Nagrek village, Cisoka, Tangerang on
Jan. 26 this year.

According to the prosecutor, the defendants confessed to the
murder. They allegedly committed the murder as not only did the
victim refuse to lend them the money but also said that the
defendants did not deserve to be his friend because they were
poor.

The defendants said they planned to kill the victim when the
latter told villagers that the two defendants had borrowed money
from him.

The prosecutor said the defendants used a knife and sickle to
kill the victim in a field in the village. (41)
