Local hoodlum killed by mob

BOGOR: Angry residents of Kampung Cikarawang, Dramaga
subdistrict, Bogor, mobbed an alleged notorious hoodlum to death
and threw his body into the Ciapus River late on Tuesday.

The residents had become outraged at the behavior of the
victim, Jeri, 30, a resident of the neighborhood, who was
apparently often involved in petty thefts and the blackmailing of
public transportation drivers.

Witnesses said that the incident happened when the people
heard Didin, a resident, cry for help as a thief had broken into
his house.

The furious residents then caught Jeri carrying a TV belonging
to Didin. Without wasting any time, they mobbed Jeri to death and
dragged his body towards the river, located near Didin's house.

Jeri's body was removed the next morning at 7 a.m. by the
Dramaga subdistrict police and handed over to Mrs. Ri, 25, the
victim's wife. ---JP
