SJI student stabbed to death in Jakarta

Christopher Melky Tanujaya, 16, should have left for Australia on Wednesday, where he would have decided whether to study at the University of Sydney or the University of Queensland.

But the Indonesian teenager, who was a Secondary 3 student at St Joseph's Institution (SJI) in Singapore this year, never had the chance to make that decision.

On Monday, Christopher was travelling home from a get-together held by fellow scholarship grantees - who also study in Singapore - when he was stabbed near a Transjakarta bus shelter in Penjari-ngan, North Jakarta.

"The motive could have been payback because none of his belongings were stolen. We found his cell phone and everything was still in place," the boy's uncle, Rudi Tanujaya, said.

Police in North Jakarta said that they had yet to find any clues that could reveal the motive behind the murder.
