Student killed by classmates
JAKARTA: A 21-year-old student at the Jakarta Arts Institute
(IKJ) was beaten to death by classmates on Monday evening after
he was accused of stealing his friend's cell phone.
Asep Suryaman, a graphic design student, left his cellular
phone in a classroom when he was recharging his battery, police
said; upon returning, he found that the phone had been stolen.
When he ran outside looking for a culprit, he reportedly saw
Ardiles B. rushing to get on a bus.
Asep stopped the vehicle and dragged Ardiles back to the
campus grounds, where he was beaten severely by a group of irate
students.
Security guards intervened and took Ardiles to the Cikini
Hospital in Menteng, Central Jakarta, but he died of his
injuries.
"We are still interrogating two of the students who
participated in the beating," said Comr. Ekky Festyanto, chief of
the Menteng police subprecinct.
Police have yet to name other suspects, owing to a lack of
evidence. -- JP

Smaller tombs for the dead
BOGOR: The dead can no longer have big tombs here as the Bogor
Sanitation and Cemetery Agency has limited the size of graves to
18 square meters.
Head of the agency, Dodi Rosadi, said on Tuesday that Chinese-
Indonesians used to be allowed to rent unlimited space for a
grave as long as they could afford it. But a new bylaw was issued
recently due to limited available space, Antara reported.
The regulation also bans private cemeteries.
Some Chinese-Indonesians believe they must look after the
spirit of the dead and therefore often build mausoleums.
The agency also regulates the construction of graves because
one which is cemented could disrupt water catchment, he said. The
agency is also considering issuing a regulation on the use of one
grave for three bodies.
The rent for a grave measuring 2.5 meters by 1.5 meters is
between Rp 30,000 and Rp 100,000 a year, depending on the
location.
But if the deceased was not a Bogor resident, the rent is
between Rp 120,000 and Rp 200,000. --JP

TANGERANG: The Tangerang District court sentenced three
domestic helpers to two-year prison terms on Tuesday for
assaulting their younger colleague.
Ciying, 50, Effendi, 26 and Eno Sukaesih, 50, were found
guilty of beating a 14-year-old maid, Sri Mulyanti, in their
employer's house in Karawaci last November, presiding judge Ade
Komarudin said.
The defendants, long-time workers for Mei Ing, 70, attacked
the victim out of envy, because their employer trusted the young
maid more, the judge added.--JP
