ebon Jeruk Police are on the lookout for suspects that initiated a deadly brawl at Bandara discotheque on Jl. Daan Mogot, West Jakarta, which was sparked after two people dancing in the establishment bumped into each other.
Police chief Comr. Marston Marbun said that the police had identified the suspects, but he did not reveal details.
“We haven't [caught the suspects] but we have identified them,” Marbun said Thursday, kompas.com reported.
The incident, which occurred on Wednesday at 2:30 a.m., resulted in one dead and five others injured.
“The cause was just a misunderstanding. The perpetrator was drinking and bumped into [the victim]. They bumped into each other when dancing but initiated a brawl over it outside [the discotheque],” Marbun said.
He said that one of the victims, who was only identified as HS, had been stabbed to death. Meanwhile, the five other victims also suffered stab wounds but survived.
Two of the victims were treated at the Royal Taruna Hospital and the other three at Sumber Waras Hospital.
Marbun said that later on Wednesday, a group of people scattered flowers outside the discotheque to honor the deceased victim.
He said that up to 100 police officers were stationed to guard the vigil for fear of revenge acts from the group. (ami)
