Truck driver stabbed to death

BOGOR (JP): A pick-up truck driver was stabbed to death
allegedly by an ojek (motorcycle taxi) driver at the victim's
house in Cijeruk district, Bogor, Sunday evening.

Anita, the victim's wife, said yesterday that she and her
husband, Heri Ansori, 25, were about to leave from their house
when suddenly a man holding a dagger approached Heri.

"The man chased Heri and stabbed him around the head," she
said.

The assailant was alleged to be a man named Bimo.

"My neighbors arrived at my house after hearing me scream, but
the man had already run away," she said.

The severely injured Heri was immediately rushed to Sekar
Wangi Hospital, but was turned away due to the limited
availability of medical equipment there. He later died on the way
to Bunut Hospital in Sukabumi, West Java.

The 27-year-old Bimo was found taking shelter at the Cijeruk
police subprecinct to avoid an angry crowd. Both Heri and Bimo
were reportedly involved in a heated argument sometime before the
stabbing took place. (24/hhr)
