'Ojek' drivers kill employee

JAKARTA (JP): An employee of a private electricity
installation company was beaten to death by ojek (motorcycle
taxi) drivers on Wednesday evening.

Andri, 28, a resident of Jl. Jaha 12, Kalisari, East Jakarta,
was reportedly on his way home by ojek on Wednesday night, when
he and his driver were stopped by two other ojek drivers because
they had been driving too fast.

The other ojek drivers had warned Andri's driver, Nehar, to
slow down, but to no avail, according to reports. Andri and Nehar
then became involved in a heated quarrel with the other ojek
drivers, police said.

Other local ojek drivers then congregated at the scene and
mobbed Andri and Nehar, killing Andri, according to police.

Police soon arrested the six men involved, who they have
identified only as AM, KHS, Mar, Muk, NR and MA. (05)
