Man shot dead for alleged robbery

TANGERANG: Police shot dead a man in Cikupa district,
Tangerang regency, early Tuesday for attacking officers and
trying to escape arrest over allegedly robbing and killing a man.

Tangerang Police detective deputy chief Insp. Kustanto said
that Alan, 35, and his accomplices allegedly robbed and killed
Desmond, 30, the driver of a public minivan plying Pasar Anyar-
Jatake on Nov. 13.

The car was taken to Lampung and sold for Rp 11 million
(US$1,294) to Baharudin, who later took the stolen car to a
workshop for repainting.

The workshop employees were suspicious of his request and
informed the police, who later questioned Baharudin.

Baharudin's confession led police to arrest other suspects
identified as Wilson, Fachrudin, Sapar and Chief Brig. RZ, who is
also Alan's brother, in Lampung on Saturday. -- JP
