Man killed in row over girlfriend

BOGOR (JP): Syamsuddin alias Obos, 20, a resident of Kampung
Setu in Ciseeng of Parung district here, died on the way to
Bhakti Yudha Hospital on Wednesday after he was assaulted in a
fight about a woman.

"The victim was angry when he found out that Neneng was also
dating a man named Dede alias Jabir," said Bogor Police detective
chief First Lt. Santun Marpaung.

Syamsuddin searched for Dede and found him in a house in
Kampung Nalang Tengah.

"Dede was visiting a friend and he was accompanied by four of
his friends. Syamsuddin was yelling, asking Dede to come out. He
then attacked Dede and stomped on him," Santun said.

Dede's friends Endang, Anwar, Muhammad and Muri rushed to help
him and Syamsuddin attacked them, Santun said.

"Muri then tried to save Dede but his hair was pulled by
Syamsuddin. Muri grabbed a machete and slashed Syamsuddin in the
stomach, chest and face," Santun said.

The four men escaped but Dede and Syamsuddin were taken to the
hospital by onlookers. (24/edt)
