'Ojek' driver robbed, killed

JAKARTA (JP): An ojek (motorcycle taxi) driver was believed to
be the victim of a robbery after he was found dead Friday morning
in Cibitung, Bekasi, police said.

The victim, Nemon bin Sirin, 54, was found by residents of
Pasir Limus village, Wangunharja about 6 a.m., First Lt. Heri
Muntiarto of Cibitung Police subprecinct said.

"A blunt object was apparently used to beat Nemon, but we are
still searching for it."

Nemon, a resident of Tangsi village, Sukadanau, was found on
the side of the road with severe wounds to his forehead and right
cheek, Heri said.

Police believe robbery was the motive behind the fatal attack
as the victim's motorcycle was missing from the crime scene.

"Initially, residents just thought the victim was a sleeping
drunkard and only realized that he was dead after a resident
smelled a putrid odor oozing from his wounds."

Nemon's body was sent to Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital
in Central Jakarta for a postmortem examination. (emf)
