Keutjhi’ Bén was den grooten en onvindbaren Keutjhi’ Bén uit Geumpang, killed in September 1911 in Pameu by sergeant Gackstätter.

Geumpang having become too hot for him, Keutjhi’ Bén withdrew to the Boven Moegò district, where Van Arkel from Tanòh Mirah twice surprised his band, killing his son and five followers and taking five rifles; almost simultaneously another patrol from Tanòh Mirah under sergeant Gackstätter surprised Keutjhi’ Bén himself in Pameu and laid him low with two followers. “And with this the time of “political situation favourable” dawned for Meulaboh as well.” A resistance head Keutjhi’ Bén was also laid low in Pameu by a patrol from Meulaboh in 1911.
