Worker killed in Tangerang

JAKARTA (JP): A worker died yesterday at the Cipto
Mangunkusumo General Hospital, Central Jakarta, after a friend
beat him in Pondok Cabe, Tangerang, West Java.

City Police Spokesman Maj. Nyoman Suriasta said Supangat, 22,
asked his friend, Kartolo, not to dump trash in a rice stall they
ate at.

Kartolo got angry at the victim.

"Kartolo then took a log and severely beat the victim's back
and head while another friend, Salihin ran, asking for help,"
Nyoman said.

Salihin and other workers helped Supangat, from Kedung Urang,
Banyumas, Central Java, and took him to hospital, he said.

Kartolo, who lived in Sumberlagu, Sragen, Central Java, was
still at large, he said. (jun)
