Robbers kill servant

TANGERANG (JP): A servant was killed in his employer's house in Ciledug, Tangerang yesterday afternoon.

Police assume the murder was premeditated and conducted by acquaintances of the victim. No force seemed to have been used to enter the house.

Witnesses told police that Jejen, the victim, was apparently alone in the house. His colleague, Didi, had left to pay the electricity bill.

The owner of the house, Anwar, is a lawyer.

The murder was discovered when Didi returned from paying the electricity bill at a nearby PLN office. He screamed upon seeing Jejen dead with stab wounds in his body.

Syaeful, a cigarette seller in the neighborhood, told the police he saw a taxi carrying two men stop in front of the house. The two men then entered the house, Syaeful said.

They soon left in the same taxi, which had apparently waited for them.

Syaeful said he knew one of the two men.

Police have yet to find a motive for the murder. The killers stole a tape deck worth Rp 3 million. (14/18)
