Singkawang City DPRD Member Becomes Suspect In Immoral Case Of Minors

JAKARTA - A member of the Singkawang City DPRD with the initials HA who is suspected of being a suspect in an immoral case against a minor was finally arrested by the Singkawang Police Satreskrim.

"HA we managed to secure it from the house which is located at Jalan Karya Baru Pontianak at around 12.30 WIB," said Singkawang Police Head of Criminal Investigation Unit Iptu Deddi Sitepu, quoted from ANTARA, Sunday, November 3.

According to him, the suspect was cooperative when police officers came to the house.

Before being taken to Singkawang, the suspect had a medical check at the Bhayangkara Pontianak Hospital.

Because he had complained of pain in his chest, especially when the suspect was arrested, he was lying in his room.

"Based on the results of the examination by the doctor at the Bhayangkara Hospital in Pontianak, he did experience symptoms of vertigo," he said.

As soon as he arrived at the Singkawang Police Headquarters, his party again carried out a health check on the suspect HA.

"The results of the examination of the police clinic doctor if the person concerned is still in good health," he said.

Furthermore, the Singkawang Police Satreskrim will conduct an examination of the suspect, who happened to have been accompanied by his lawyer.

"The suspect's lawyer is now different. After that, we will see from the results of the examination whether the person concerned will be detained or not," he said again.

Deddi revealed that the pick-up of the suspect was based on information from the public who stated that the suspect was at a house in Pontianak City.

"When we arrived, the family was cooperative and no one resisted," he said.

Previously, the attorney for suspect HA submitted a pretrial to the Singkawang District Court against the Singkawang Police because HA's attorney did not accept that his client was named a suspect.

However, the sole judge at the trial at the Singkawang District Court on October 28, 2024 decided to reject the pretrial. Thus, the legal process against the suspect HA by the Singkawang Police can be resumed.
