JAKARTA (JP): A young man looking for work in Jakarta was
murdered by an unidentified hoodlum at a bus shelter in front of

late on Monday.

Kemayoran police subprecinct chief Adj. Comr. Herry Rodolf
Nahak said Ibut Wahyudin, 19, was stabbed twice in the stomach by
the hoodlum while waiting for a bus with his friend, Rudi, 20.

Both men had just arrived in the city from their village of
Compreng in Cirebon, West Java, to find construction work in the
capital.

The culprit approached both men and requested a cigarette.
After being given a cigarette he then took a knife from his
pocket and asked for money.

"If you take our money, how will eat later," Rudi quoted
Wahyudin's response. The man became enraged by the response and
then stabbed Wahyudin. The murderer fled the scene as Wahyudin
collapsed and died in Rudi's arms.(01)
