JAKARTA (JP): A security guard who was allegedly beaten by his
nephew on Jl. Pangkalan Asem, Senen district, in Central Jakarta,
died yesterday.

Central Jakarta Police Chief Lt. Col. Abubakar Nataprawira
said the victim, Agus Suganda, 49, was beaten in the face and
body with bamboo by his nephew, identified only as Hm, 39, on
July 4. Agus was taken to hospital where he spent a week before
dying.

"Hm is still at large," Abubakar said.

Witnesses said that Hm got angry when Agus pinched Hm's son
for kicking his mattress which was airing in the yard.

Asem. (jun)
