Two men detained for murder

JAKARTA (JP): After killing a man to avenge their father's murder, Salamudin (25) and Darussalam (23) were detained by the East Jakarta district police for murder.

Suyata, the victim, was murdered by the two men after the victim's son, now a fugitive, murdered Salamudin's and Darusalam's father, Saut, one week ago.

According to a spokesman of the East Jakarta district police who refused to be identified, the murders were triggered by a land dispute between the two families.

Police said they were still investigating the case and therefore refused to divulge the details of the crime.

"It could have been caused by a land dispute or a fight over inheritance," the police said.

The crime took place at Suyata's house in Duren Sawit, East Jakarta, where the two men stabbed him to death with a sword.
