JAKARTA: Just 22 days after starting work as an ojek
(motorcycle taxi) driver in South Jakarta, Mulyadi Milad, 30, was
murdered, execution style, for the motorcycle he was renting to
provide an income for his wife and two children.

Mulyadi's body was discovered near a cemetery on Jl. Sawah
Lama, Pondok Sawah Indah in Ciputat, early Saturday. He had been
shot in the back of the head at close range.

Ciputat Police deputy chief First. Insp. Jamaludin suspected
robbery was the motive as the motorcycle had not been found. "The
robber must have pretended to be a passenger."

The victim's older brother, Sukatno, said Mulyadi, from Serua
Indah, Kedaung, also in Ciputat, had rented the motorcycle from
his neighbor for Rp 17,000 (US$2) a day. --JP.
