Truck driver killed

JAKARTA (JP): A truck driver was found dead yesterday with two stab wounds in the stomach in front of a rice stall in Ciracas, East Jakarta.

The chief detective of the Ciracas police, Second Lt. Sugito, speculated that Suwandi, an independent truck driver, was stabbed by a man with whom he was involved in a fight two years ago.

"A grudge is probably behind the killing," Sugito said, assuming that the alleged killer had been biding his time for revenge.

The police are still trying to track down the killer.

According to Suwandi's sister, Komariah, Suwandi was on his way to his mother's home on Jl. Kampung Tengah Ciracas yesterday for a post Idul Fitri celebration.

Suwandi, a resident of Kampung Mindi Tangerang, is survived by a wife and son in Lampung, southern Sumatra. (04)
