Hit With A Wooden Block, A Man In Toba Dies In The Hands Of His Biological Child

MEDAN - A child in Toba Regency, North Sumatra with the initials AP (20) has the heart to kill his own biological father with the initials MP (55).

This incident occurred at the victim's house, in Banjar Tongah Hamlet, Aek Unsim Village, Borbor District, Toba Regency, North Sumatra, Tuesday, December 28, 2021.

The head of the Toba Police Public Relations Subdivision, Iptu Bungaran, said the incident began when AP was in the kitchen. Meanwhile, the MP victim was in the bathroom.

"At first, the two of them got into an argument. At that time, the victim felt annoyed with the perpetrator because he always denied what he said," said Iptu Bungaran in his statement, Friday, January 21.

Annoyed with his son, MP came out of the bathroom and took a machete and pointed it at the perpetrator.

"At that time the victim said in Batak language to the suspect 'hupamate maho di son' which means I will kill you here," he said.

Feeling threatened, the perpetrator then pushed the victim's body to the ground. Then, the perpetrator took a stick of firewood from the stove in the kitchen.

"Then hit MP's head 3 times until the victim fell down. AP hit MP's body again 2 times until the victim died on the spot," he said.

"At that time the suspect immediately notified the incident to a witness named Bertus Pangaribuan," he continued.

For his actions, AP was charged with Article 338 of the Criminal Code with a penalty of up to 5 years in prison.
