The Perpetrator Of The Murder Of Women In A Closet In Cirebon Has Been Arrested

The Cirebon City Resort Police (Polres), West Java, arrested the perpetrator of the murder of a woman whose body was found in a cupboard in a boarding house in Kedawung District on Thursday (9/5).

The Head of Cirebon City Police, AKBP Muhammad Rano Hadiyanto, explained that within three hours of the incident, the perpetrator with the initials C (30) was arrested for being proven to have mistreated victim A (21) to death.

"We received a report regarding the discovery of the victim's body at 15.30 WIB, last Thursday. Three hours later we arrested the perpetrator, namely C," said the Police Chief in Cirebon as quoted by Antara, Friday.

He said the murder case began when the perpetrator and the victim met in the boarding house room, after communicating via an online dating application.

Both, said the Police Chief, agreed to date the rates agreed on in the chat on the application.

According to Rano, when they met the two, they were involved in an argument which then triggered an act of abuse against the victim.

"The perpetrator strangled the neck and hit the victim's face many times, until the victim was unconscious," he said.

He conveyed the motive for the perpetrator to abuse because the victim was deemed to have broken the agreement regarding the dating rate.

From the results of the post-mortem and autopsy, said the Police Chief, the victim suffered a strangulation wound to the neck and died from running out of breath.

He emphasized that in this case, the perpetrator has now been detained and is undergoing further legal proceedings.

"The perpetrator had time to remove the traces of his actions by cleaning the blood stains that were scattered in the room. Then put the victim in the cupboard," he said.

Meanwhile, the Head of the Cirebon City Police Satreskrim AKP Anggi Eko Prasetyo added that after the report on the discovery of the victim's body, his party immediately conducted a crime scene (TKP) to collect information and collect evidence related to the case.

As a result, the police officers can arrest the perpetrators without putting up a fight.

Anggi said that the perpetrators are now charged with multiple articles regulated in the Criminal Code, and are threatened with a maximum sentence of 15 years in prison.

"Our perpetrators snared Article 338, Article 365 and Article 351 of the Criminal Code, with a threat of 15 years in prison," he said.
