JAKARTA: Police shot and killed an alleged criminal on Monday,
identified as Rhamdoni, 29, at the vicinity of the Kramat Jati
market in East Jakarta.

Rhamdoni was shot in the chest and head while attempting to
grab a police officer's rifle in a desperate bid to escape. He
died at the scene.

"Police fired warning shots, but he refused to surrender," the
police report said.

Rhamdoni was known as a hoodlum who often threatened either
the buyers or the sellers at the market, the report said.

police to the scene so that he could identify his fellow
criminals in the area, the report stated. --JP
