West Aceh Police Detain Ibu Balita Victims Of Dating Persecution

The West Aceh Police have detained PR (27 years), a resident of Bengkalok Island, South Teupah District, Simeulue Regency, Aceh Province, who is suspected of being involved in the persecution of his own son named Berly Ghaisan Rabbani, who is four years old.

Victim Berly died after being abused by his male friend (dating) on February 9, 2024, in a hut at the location where the culverts were made in Kuta Padang Village, Johan Pahlawan District, West Aceh Regency.

"Our PR suspect has been detained since Tuesday (5/3) after we previously conducted an examination," said Head of the West Aceh Police Criminal Investigation Unit, Iptu Fachmi Suciandy, quoted by ANTARA, Tuesday, March 5.

Fachmi said the detention of PR was carried out after investigators examined PR, including examining witnesses so that the victim's mother was named a suspect and had been detained.

The PR suspect was detained by the police because his toddler's mother, Berly Ghaisan Rabbani, was suspected of being involved in the case of abuse of her child so that the victim died.

"The victim's mother is suspected of being involved in ordering her boyfriend (suspect AZ alias Ayi) to persecute her child, so that the victim's child later died," said Fachmi.

In this case, the police first arrested and detained AZ alias Ayi (22 years), a resident of Gampong Teungoh Village, Samatiga District, West Aceh Regency on Thursday, February 22, 2024.

Suspect AZ alias Ayi was arrested by the police for allegedly planning the murder of a toddler named Berly Ghaisan Rabbani (4 years), who is the biological son of PR who has now been named a suspect and detained at the West Aceh Police Headquarters.

"In this case, the police charged the PR suspect with Article 76c paragraph (3) Juncto Article 80 paragraph (3) of Law Number 35 of 2014 concerning amendments to Law Number 23 of 2002 concerning Child Protection, with a maximum imprisonment of 15 years in prison," said Fachmi.
