'Ojek' driver found murdered

'Ojek' driver found murdered

TANGERANG (JP): An ojek (motorcycle taxi) driver was found
murdered in the industrial area of Jatiuwung at about 7:30 p.m.
on Tuesday, eyewitnesses and police said yesterday. His
motorcycle had been stolen.

Anas Nasuari, 28, may have been killed by two passengers he
accepted only 30 minutes before his body was discovered, fellow
drivers said.

Anas, also an employee of PT Gadjah Tunggal, was moonlighting
as an ojek driver because his monthly salary was barely enough to
support his family.

Police said that before the incident, Anas told his wife he
was going to work that evening, as he had often done since the
monetary crisis hit last July.

"Only 30 minutes later, he was found dead at the roadside with
multiple wounds to his body and his motorcycle missing," a
relative said. (41/pan)
