"We ensure that the further case handling process is in accordance with the legal corridors in force in Indonesia, professionally and proportionally by the Bintan Police," he said, quoted by Antara, Wednesday, May 25.

Based on initial information, the two Chinese citizens worked at a subcontractor company PT BAI in the employee dormitory in the Galang SEZ area. The witness in the incident said that the two of them had an argument over a work contract issue at around 21.00 WIB on Tuesday (24/5).

The fight started from a verbal argument until finally a fist fight using sharp weapons so that one person died and another person was in critical condition.
