Police arrest four students for murder

JAKARTA (JP): South Jakarta Police detectives have arrested
four senior high school students in the past two days over the
killing of another student, Leo Henriyanto, 18, during a brawl on
Saturday, a police officer said on Tuesday.

The officer, who refused to be named, identified the four as
Agus Riyadi and Supriyatna, both students at STM Bhakti senior
technical high school in East Jakarta, Ahmad Lutfi, alias Ciney,
and Dominique, alias Dumay.

The high schools of the latter two students have not yet been
identified, he said.

"One student, whom I will only identify as Dj, is still at
large. We have confiscated a buckle-shaped belt and a large
wooden object as evidence," the source said.

The victim, a student at STM 3 senior technical high school,
was beaten with hard objects on different parts of his body,
particularly his back and buttocks, he explained.

According to South Jakarta Police chief of detectives Maj.
Ahmad Alwi, Leo had just disembarked from a S-28 Kopaja public
minivan S-28, which plies the Kampung Melayu-Ragunan route, near
the Saidah tower in Cikopo, Pancoran, at about 10 a.m. on
Saturday.

"He just got off the bus when the gang suddenly beat him up
and slashed him with machetes," Ahmad said. (ylt)
