Man arrested for brother's murder

JAKARTA (JP): Bogor Police are currently questioning a man for
allegedly murdering his elder brother after a squabble over money
at their residence on Jl. Kampung Kopi in the Puspasari area of
Citeureup, Bogor, on Thursday night.

Bogor Police station chief of detectives Adj. Comr. Santo
Marpaung identified the suspect as Edi Wahyudi, 18, who in his
drunkenness, had allegedly stabbed his brother Abdul Malik, 36,
to death.

"The murder was witnessed by Edi's family. Abdul died of stab
wounds to his stomach. He died at the PMI Bogor Hospital," Santo
told reporters.

"Edi came home drunk at 9 p.m. on Thursday. He asked for money
from his mother. His mother refused him. So, he asked his
brother."

Abdul gave Edi some money, but Edi felt that it was not
enough, so he picked a fight with Abdul.

"In his anger, Edi went to the kitchen, took out a huge knife
and started stabbing his brother with it, in front of the whole
family," Santo said. (ylt)
