Man to stop clash killed

JAKARTA (JP): A man was killed on Friday at Kuta Baru in the Pasar Kemis area of Tangerang while trying to break up a dispute between a local extorter and a resident.

A report from the Tangerang Police revealed that Zaenuddin, 22, a local, was stabbed in the stomach.

The incident started at 9 p.m. when Oyo Sartika, 18, believed to be a notorious hold-up man in the area, got angry when a local man refused to meet his demand for an amount of money.

Both men were then involved in a dispute.

Zaenudin, who rushed to the scene attempting to calm the two, was stabbed. He died after being taken to Medika Hospital. (06)
