The Persecutor Of His Ex-wife To Death In Jepara Becomes A Suspect, A Quarrel Begins With Guna-guna Allegations

JEPARA - Jepara Resort Police named Rudi Haryanto (50) a resident of Mayong, Jepara, Central Java, as a suspect for assaulting his ex-wife to death.

"The perpetrator was also charged with Article 338 of the Criminal Code regarding deliberately taking people's lives with a maximum penalty of 15 years in prison," said Jepara Police Chief AKBP Wahyu Nugroho Setyawan accompanied by Kasatreskrim AKP Ahmad Misdar Tohari and Head of Public Relations Subsidy Ipda Basirun quoted by ANTARA, Friday, October 20.

The chronology of the incident, he said, began when the perpetrator on Thursday (19/10) at 13.30 WIB visited the victim's house in Sengonbugel Village, Mayong District, to ask for medicine for accusing his ex-wife of using it.

Because he did not feel that he was doing anything and the victim also did not have the medicine, the perpetrator finally got angry.

The perpetrator then carried out the persecution, either with his bare hands or using a broom handle and a bottle of spray mosquito medicine.

As a result of the persecution, the victim eventually died due to injuries to his head, hands, back, and chest.

The perpetrator then called his son as a result of a marriage with the victim who was at the Mustika Hotel owned by his parents, and was told that his mother had died. The perpetrator also contacted his sister to check on the condition of his ex-wife.

"After the witness arrived at the scene, the victim was found on the bed in a condition of death with a number of injuries," he said.

The results of the doctor's post-mortem from the Mayong 2 Health Center, the victim died due to several injuries to his head, body, and hands.

The victim's body was taken to RA Kartini Hospital in Jepara for an autopsy. As a result, the cause of death of the victim was due to respiratory failure, which was possible to cover his mouth and nose.

After obtaining information from a number of witnesses and evidence at the scene, the police arrested the perpetrator who was at a gas station in Mijen District while trying to escape.
