Man killed in revenge

TANGERANG (JP): An ojek (motorcycle taxi) driver was beaten to
death in Serpong Wednesday over an alleged affair with the wife
of one of his two attackers, police have said.

Tangerang Police chief Lt. Col. Aryanto Boediharjo said the
victim, Ayuhan, 42, died in front of a coffee stall at about 7:30
p.m.

"Ayuhan was killed probably because he went out once with the
wife of one of the two suspects. Apparently, the suspect took
revenge on him," Boediharjo said.

A police officer who declined to be named said one of the
suspects, Sanuri, a resident of Ciater village, was angry because
he saw his wife, Ida, with the victim once.

But Boediharjo said police had yet to arrest the suspects and
that the motive was still a matter of speculation.

"The murder took place in a quiet, dark place and occurred
quickly. Eyewitnesses could not identify the suspects," he said.

Witnesses said a taxi stopped in front of the stall and that
one of the passengers asked bystanders the address of the
Indonesian Institute of Technology.

Suddenly the other passenger reportedly got out from the taxi
and attacked the victim with a sickle. (41/jun)
