Perpetrators Of Beating Men From Singaraja To Death In Sempidi Confess Wrong Target

Five perpetrators of beating a man from Singaraja, Adhi Putra Krisnawan (23) in Sempidi, Badung, were arrested. The perpetrator of the beating admitted that he was wrong on target.

The five perpetrators had the initials RS (23), BFH (18), AM (17), OYB (21) and AH (25). The perpetrators were arrested in separate locations.

"A total of five people have been arrested," said Head of Public Relations Kombes Jansen Avitus Panjaitan, Tuesday, January 23.

The suspect at the hospital was said by the police to have stabbed a knife into the victim's chest. Another suspect ganged up on the victim.

"The groups involved in the attack or beatings are estimated to be around 12-17 people. So, later it will be developed, they are being investigated by the Ditreskrimum of the Bali Police and the Badung Police to follow up," he said.

Badung Police Chief, AKBP Teguh Priyo Wasono said that these motorized gangs were actually wrongly targeted. They have targeted victims from other groups to be beaten.

"So they have a target for the group (other). So, they think that this victim is what they are targeting, their goal is persecution. So they are a group of youths and what group (name) we are still investigating. For the main perpetrators who resulted in the death of the victim is the hospital," he said.

Teguh said this revenge plan was because this group was offended by other groups. But during the execution, the victim was apparently wrong.

"It turned out that (the victim) was not that group, because he was wearing clothes that looked like a group that they were targeting. Finally, the victim was chased and fell into an electric pole and carried out persecution together and died," he explained.
