Economic Motives In Murder Cases In Lebak Bulus, Speculations That Need To Be Revealed

JAKARTA The murder case at Bona Indah Housing, Lebak Bulus, Cilandak, South Jakarta still leaves a question mark. It has not been revealed what the reason MAS (14) did heinously to his father, APW (40), and his mother, AP (40) and his grandmother, RM (69) last Saturday, November 30, at around 01.20 WIB.

Various speculations have emerged, some say that MAS is under pressure from his parents' training patterns. There are also those who call MAS depressed. Surprisingly, MAS himself confessed to the police if he heard magical whispers before the night of the massacre.

Meanwhile, the South Jakarta Metro Police Chief, Kombes Ade Rahmat Idnal, alluded to the family's economic problems, as an initial analysis to support the alleged economic motive for the background of the murder.

Kombes Ade said, during the examination, MAS admitted that his mother often looked at him regarding his father's work.

The child was taken into account by his mother's family problems. He said that my father should have been able to promote (position). His father worked in the IT section but at this time he has not been promoted. He can increase his position economically," said Ade.

He also told me that his father would take him on vacation, but suddenly it didn't happen. No need, said mother, it's better if the money is used for other things." he continued.

Is MAS's confession to the police regarding his father's work a determining factor that this case cannot be separated from economic problems?

VOI tried to return to visit MAS's residence at Bona Indah Housing, Lebak Bulus, the crime scene (TKP).

Wednesday afternoon, December 11, 2024, the weather was friendly, not raining. However, activities in MAS's home environment looked deserted. Even in 2 minutes, no vehicles passed. The house's terrace light was seen burning during the day, around 14.30 WIB.

Please note, the house that MAS lives in is the house of his grandmother, RM (69), the victim. RM has lived in the house for a long time, in Lebak Bulus, which is an elite area in South Jakarta.

Local residents know RM very well. He is active in various activities such as recitation, even RM is said to be the treasurer of the local RW. Yes, the figure of RM is well known.

RM lives in Bona Indah accompanied by the family of her son, AP and her husband, APW, as well as one son, MAS, who is now a suspect.

After the bloody incident, the house looks deserted, locked, there is no activity. Since yesterday, there has been no police line covering the fence of RM's house.

When he saw the garage of the house from a distance, VOI remembered Kombes Ade Rahmat's statement that alluded to the economy in the MAS family.

Related to that, in the garage of RM's house there are two cars parked. A white Suzuki Xl7 car and a silver Wuling Conference car. Among the two cars there is a road gap, approximately 1.5 meters wide, which is used to park a Honda Vario motorbike. VOI sources said that the two cars inside the garage of the TKP house belonged to RM.

It is difficult to digest if economic problems become the main factor in this case. And indeed, the police have not officially disclosed it.

MAS and his father, APW live at RM's house, AP's mother who has been well known by neighbors. You could say, APW lives in his in-laws.

The death of RM shocked local residents. This is because some residents who know RM understand their lives that look fine, don't look like they have problems.

There are many other irregularities in this case that need to be revealed. As a key witness, MAS's biological mother needs to be completely cured, physically and psychologically.
