MAKASSAR - The Pallangga Police Team, Gowa, South Sulawesi, arrested the US, the perpetrator who cut N (45) 's hand with a machete. The persecution occurred because of a fencing dispute.

"Evidence is in the form of a machete used as well as securing the knife used by the victim while chasing witnesses at the TKP," said Head of Public Relations of Pallang Police, Aipda Alamsyah, when contacted by VOI, Monday, November 9.

From the information gathered by the police, the incident started with A building a house fence. Victim N rebuked A and threw stones at A's house. There was a quarrel. N protested with a fence made because it was said to be blocking the road to his house.

"There was an argument. The victim then pulled out the kitchen knife and then chased after witness A," said Alamsyah.

"The victim whose hand was slashed shouted at the one who made a fence," he continued.

A's family did not accept N. The US perpetrator, who was also A's brother, then came to meet N with a machete.

"The perpetrator, carrying a machete, then met the victim, then swung the machete towards the right wrist which was holding the knife, so the victim's right wrist broke off and fell to the ground with the knife he was holding," continued Alamsyah.

The US was arrested and named a suspect in the persecution. The suspect was charged under Article 351 paragraph 2 of the Criminal Code.
