Teacher stabbed to death for sodomy

YOGYAKARTA: Santo Dul Ari, 19, a student of a vocational school in Pundong subdistrict, Bantul regency, Yogyakarta stabbed his teacher, Rudy Harsoyo, (50), to death on Saturday, a police officer said.

Head of the Bantul police's detective unit Adj. Comr. Hadi Paryitno quoted Santo as saying that he stabbed the teacher because he was angry at the victim who had sexually harassed him.

"The initial questioning of the suspect shows that the incident was sparked by sexual harassment. The suspect was angry because he was about to be sodomized by the victim," the police officer said as quoted by Antara.

Santo told the police that Rudy asked him to come to his house, saying that he wanted to help him with his homework.

But instead of helping him, Rudy performed oral sex on Santo, Hadi said.

The teacher, who was stronger than Santo, then attempted to sodomize him despite Santo's resistance. Santo told the police that he found a knife near Rudy's bed, the officer said, adding that Santo then stabbed his teacher. The knife penetrated Rudy's liver.

The police managed to arrest Santo several hours later and have detained him for further questioning. (02)
