The Bogor Resort Police have uncovered a murder case of a woman with the initials RR (33) whose body was found on the edge of Jalan Raya Limusnunggal, Cileungsi District, Bogor Regency, West Java, on Saturday, February 24, 2023.

Bogor Police Chief, AKBP Iman Imanuddin during a press conference at the Police Headquarters, Cibinong, Bogor, Friday, revealed that RR was killed by a man with the initials AA (27) who is a palmbang cracker trader.

"This perpetrator was tempted to control the victim's belongings and finally hit the victim using a wooden block on the head, and injured the victim's neck using a cutter. The victim then died on the spot," said Iman, quoted by ANTARA, March 25.

The suspect's motive, said Iman, wanted to control the victim's cell phone, which was currently in the process of charging batteries in a public place on the edge of Jalan Raya Limusnunggal, Cileungsi District, Bogor Regency.

Then, the victim's cell phone, which was successfully confiscated by the suspect, was sold to replace the palmbang crackers deposit, which was based on the suspect's confession.

"So the crackers were lost. So the stolen cellphones were sold to pay the crackers deposit," explained Iman.

Iman explained that AA had been arrested by members of the Bogor Police Criminal Investigation Unit at a train station in Ciputat, South Tangerang City, Banten, on Wednesday, March 21, 2023.

Now suspect AA is charged with Article 365 paragraph (3) of the Criminal Code and Article 338 of the Criminal Code with a maximum penalty of 15 years in prison.
