Jobless man killed by mistake

TANGERANG (JP): A jobless man identified as Anton Abdullah,
32, of Kampung Pondok Serut in Serpong here, died after being
mobbed by an angry crowd which assumed he was a thief.

It was Anton's father-in-law Jaya who allegedly provoked the
crowd to turn on the father of three Tuesday night.

Jaya reportedly yelled and called Anton a robber because the
latter had forced him to hand over some money and threatened to
burn the house if Jaya refused to do so.

A local resident named Samsu said that Anton probably died
from the severe wounds to his head, chest and arm.

Anton's body was left bleeding in a street in Kampung Pondok
Serut. The police found at least 10 planks and several stones
near the body.

The body was taken to Tangerang hospital for a postmortem.
