Murderers arrested

JAKARTA (JP): Two men believed to have murdered a servant
before robbing a lawyer's house in Cileduk, Tangerang, of
electronics have been arrested.

Police sources said yesterday that Jayadi and Raya were picked
up at their hideout in Cirebon, West Java, on Wednesday.

The suspects admitted to killing the servant Jenjen and
stealing a tape deck and laser disc player from the house.

Police also arrested a man, identified as Buyung, who bought
the loot from the suspects.

Earlier, local residents said that Jejen was left alone in the
house when his colleague, Didi, went to pay the electricity bill.

A cigarette seller, Syaeful, said he saw a taxi carrying two
men stop in front of the house. The two men then entered the
house, Syaeful said.

Police have yet to determine if the two men Syaeful
saw are actually the two suspects they have detained.

Police presume the motive for the killing was robbery. (sur)
