Bandung. The first day of the new year ended tragically for a promising university student who was stabbed to death.

Language education student Andri Wardiansya, 22, was attacked at about 3 a.m. on Sunday while returning home from a New Year’s Eve concert.

He is believed to have been attacked, beaten and stabbed by a group of people along Jalan Cipaganti, in front of Rumah Mode and Rumah Makan Padang.

The attackers left Andri’s beaten and bloodied body lying on the street. It was not clear if he died during or after the attack, but police later saw the body and took it to the Hasan Sadikin Hospital in Bandung for an autopsy.

“Andri, one of our students who was also a saxophone player, was killed while on his way home after performing in a New Year’s Eve musical activity,” said Dadang Sunendar, the assistant rector for student affairs and cooperation at the Education University of Indonesia.

It was not immediately clear whether robbery was a motive.

“Police have secured what was found on him as evidence,” Dadang said. He said Andri’s saxophone was missing. “Andri was a smart student, prospective teacher and a dedicated musician. We hope that police immediately catch the culprit. ”

Last month, three students were brutally murdered in the span of a week.

In Pandeglang, three teenage boys confessed to assaulting and slaying their friend, Lutfiadin, 15, after the victim flirted with one of the three’s girlfriend.

The boys told police investigators that they took Lutfiadin to a secluded area in the village on Dec. 11, at the foot of the mountain, where they assaulted him, stabbed the victim repeatedly in the abdomen, strangled and kicked him. They then proceeded to strip the victim and cut off his genitals.

The brutal murder of the junior high school student followed an incident on Dec. 6 in which Ahmad Yoga Afudholi, 19, was beaten to death by fellow students from Al-Azhar Islamic University in South Jakarta after being accused of stealing a motorcycle helmet.

A day earlier, Christopher Melky Tanujaya, 16, a high school Science Olympiad winner, was stabbed to death in North Jakarta by someone trying to steal his cellphone.
