JAKARTA (JP): Two men were stabbed to death in separate
incidents on Thursday night and Friday morning.

The first victim, Sugianto, 23, an ojek (motorcycle taxi)
driver, was killed by two unidentified men on Jl. Kemuning, South
Jakarta.

He was found dead with stabbed wounds in his stomach, face and
chest. His Yamaha Force-1 motorcycle and wallet were reportedly
missing.

A witness, Bambang, also an ojek driver, said he saw the
victim carrying two passengers in the nearby Pasar Minggu area at
about 8 p.m. Thursday.

He said violent robbery against ojek drivers in the area had
become a common incident.

"Last week, one of our colleagues had his motorcycle stolen.
But he was not killed," Bambang said.

The victim killed on Friday was security guard MT Sinulingga,
51.

The employee of a private company was stabbed in the early
hours of Friday by an unidentified man while on duty at his
office on Jl. Angkasa, Kemayoran, Central Jakarta.

He died with severe wounds in his stomach and chest.

Kemayoran Police have questioned four men related to the
murder. It is believed a grudge was behind the murder, police
