Killer gets 10 years in jail

JAKARTA (JP): North Jakarta District Court, led by Judge Yudo Sumarto, has sentenced Fansuri, alias Kecil, 19, to 10 years imprisonment for murder.

The crime happened in Tanjung Priok, North Jakarta, in January last year. Fansuri was hurt by Nurhayati, who had rejected his love because he was too young.

After seeing her with another man, Fansuri waited for the right moment to attack. He stabbed her in the abdomen and chest with a knife. Nurhayati was wounded but managed to survive.

After hearing Nurhayati's cries for help, Subur, 30, came to her aid. In panic, Fansuri also stabbed Subur several times, leading to his death.

The jail term is lighter than the 12 years demanded by prosecutor Mrs. HPW Soekewi, Antara reported. (25)
