Student stabbed to death in brawl

JAKARTA (JP): A student of the privately run Mercu Suar
technical senior high school in East Jakarta was stabbed to death
yesterday by students from another private technical high school
during a brawl at a bus shelter in Bekasi.

The victim, Bambang Supriadi, who was stabbed in the chest,
died at Mitra Keluarga Hospital in East Jakarta. None of the
students have been arrested.

Bambang and several schoolmates had been waiting for a bus
yesterday morning when a group of students from another school
attacked them, a relative of the victim told reporters yesterday
at the morgue in Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital, where
Bambang's body had been transferred for a post-mortem
examination.

Three students from different private technical high schools
were killed in separate brawls early this month in West, North
and Central Jakarta.

Sularto, a student from a school in downtown Kota, West
Jakarta, was tortured to death by one of four students in a brawl
on Jl. Latumeten in West Jakarta on Sept. 6.

Police have arrested three of the four students.

Jamot, a student from a North Jakarta technical high school,
was stabbed to death by students from a private senior high
school on Sept. 6 on Jl. Jembatan Tiga, Penjaringan district, in
North Jakarta.

Bactiar Effendi, a student of a private technical high school
in Central Jakarta was fatally stabbed in the stomach by a group
of students from another private senior high school on Sept. 10
on Jl. Kramat Raya in Central Jakarta.

The suspected killers of Jamot and Bachtiar are still at
large.

At least 12 students have died in separate brawls in the city
over the past six months. (jun)
