JAKARTA - The case of a hit-and-run at the Cakung East Jakarta toll gate which resulted in the death of a motorbike rider with the initials MSP alias Moses (34), committed by OD (24), is now being transferred to the Metro Jaya Police Dirlantas.

The victim's attorney said that he would oversee this case to completion.

"We will continue to coordinate. So far, we appreciate the steps taken by the police for acting professionally," said the victim's attorney, Rully Simorangkir when confirmed by VOI, Monday, June 19.

Deputy Director of Metro Jaya Police AKBP Doni Hermawan said, together with the General Criminal Investigation Directorate of Metro Jaya Police, they are holding a special case related to the death of MSP alias Moses (34), a motorbike rider after being hit and run over by OS (24) in the Cakung area, East Jakarta.

"We are holding another case specifically by involving the Ditreskrimum again," said AKBP Doni.

AKBP Doni said that the title of the special case was carried out to review the construction of the articles that would be applied to the suspect. The reason is, in this case there was an element of intent that caused people to die.

Furthermore, Doni said that later this case would be handled by Metro Jaya Police. However, until now the delegation of cases is still in process.

"The elements are intentional, Article 11 paragraph 5. But we see that there is a potential for the elements to take away lives. We can see that the perpetrator intentionally crashed and already know the consequences that will be caused. We will use Article 338 of the Criminal Code. In the near future, this process can be delegated," he said.

The perpetrator OD has been named a suspect and detained under Article 311 Paragraph 5, Juncto Article 310 Paragraph 4, Juncto Article 312 Law Number 22 of 2009 concerning Road Traffic and Transportation. He faces a maximum prison sentence of 12 years.
