Man murdered on mosque porch

TANGERANG (JP): A suspected thug, Mad alias Gondrong, was
found dead with several stab wounds to his head and neck on the
porch of Munawwaroh Mosque in the Ahmad Yani soccer stadium on
Jl. Windu Karya I, Tangerang, early on Tuesday.

Tangerang substation police chief Ins. Sumanto said police
found a sickle inside Gondrong's bag and a car key that police
suspect was used in car thefts was in his pocket.

The victim, 20, a resident of Neglasari subdistrict, was first
found at 4 a.m. by nightclub workers who frequently take a rest
on the porch after work.

Police have yet to find any clues to the murder, but a food
vendor near the mosque alleged that the victim was stabbed by a
group of thugs he identified as Codet, Erlan and Kubil.

The vendor said Codet was in love with Siti, a sex worker, and
the victim was probably killed out of jealousy.

She added that the Munawwaroh Mosque porch was home to many
thugs and prostitutes. The mosque keeper had once tried to ban
them but was threatened with sickles by the thugs.

She said that many people who prayed at the mosque had lost
their shoes. (01)
