The West Java Regional Police are investigating the alleged element of theft in the murder of the mother of a member of the Indonesian House of Representatives, Bambang Hermanto, in Indramayu Regency, West Java, which occurred some time ago. The Head of Public Relations of the West Java Police, Kombes Ibrahim Tompo, said that initially the perpetrator with the initials T admitted that he carried out the action because he was hurt. But behind that, Ibrahim said it was suspected that there were a number of items belonging to the victim that were missing. "But we are still investigating this, from the suspect's statement he admitted to taking money, but the money is not much, but it is still something that is not justified," said Ibrahim in Bandung, Antara, Monday, May 29. Apart from money, Ibrahim said there were a number of other evidences and jewelry belonging to the victim named Casinih (62) which were suspected to have been lost, so the motive for being hurt was only temporary. So far, according to him, the police have examined six witnesses by the Indramayu Police. Furthermore, he said, the police would ask for expert information to support the investigation process. "There are several things we need, such as examining the results of the forensic laboratory, this is still waiting for the results to be able to support the evidence from the disclosure of this case," he said. Previously, the police stated that the perpetrator of the murder was a household assistant (ART) who worked at Casinih's house. Meanwhile, Casinih was killed at her home in Sukra District, Indramayu Regency, West Java, Friday (26/5). Police arrested suspect T less than 24 hours after the murder. The victim was first found by another child named Adam.
