Just Met A Woman On Facebook, Promised To Meet Near A Cemetery, A Man From Pondok Aren Was Even Robbed

JAKARTA - Nasrul (19) almost became a victim of a robbery at the Pondok Kelapa Public Cemetery (Cemetery), Duren Sawit, East Jakarta. The man from Pondok Aren, South Tangerang was deceived, because the woman he had just met through Facebook, apparently wanted to rob him.

The incident began when Nasrul made an appointment with a woman with the initials A on Facebook. A asked Nasrul to meet at the Pondok Kelapa Cemetery area, Monday, January 3, evening. Nasrul admitted that he had come all the way from Pondok Aren to Pondok Kelapa with full of hope for A, whom he had just met.

N said that he came from the Pondok Aren (Tangsel) area to the Cemetery because he was invited to meet in the Cemetery area.

"She was waiting at the door of the tomb, finally I came," Nasrul told reporters.

After meeting at the Cemetery, A then asked Nasrul to ride his motorbike into the Cemetery, in the dark night.

After entering the tomb area, Nasrul was actually awaited by two men carrying sharp weapons who walked towards him.

"So when A got off the motorbike, these two people appeared carrying sharp weapons. I ran away and screamed for help," he said.

Residents around the scene who heard the victim's screams immediately tried to help him. Residents searched for the whereabouts of the perpetrators and managed to secure the woman with the initials A and the perpetrator with the initials S along with sharp weapons. The other perpetrators managed to escape.

The two perpetrators were then taken to the Duren Sawit Police Headquarters along with evidence for further processing.

The Head of the Duren Sawit Police, Commissioner of Police Suyud, confirmed the alleged robbery. The police chief said that two people were secured from the Pondok Kelapa Cemetery area.

"The modus operandi of the gang of perpetrators is to use women to search for victims via Facebook," he said when contacted by VOI, Tuesday, January 4.

Currently, the two perpetrators are still undergoing examination at the Duren Sawit Police.

"A sharp weapon belonging to one perpetrator was confiscated. According to his confession, the perpetrator is 16 years old but an investigation is still underway," he said.
