JAKARTA - A joint team from the West Jakarta Metro Police and the Cengkareng Police have succeeded in uncovering the motive for the death of a husband and wife couple named Sobirin (35) and Ida Haryati (41) who were found dead in their house, on Jalan Masjid Nurul Hidayah, RT 10/016, Kapuk, Cengkareng District, West Jakarta.

West Jakarta Metro Police Criminal Investigation Unit Head AKBP Andri Kurniawan accompanied by Cengkareng Police Chief Kompol Abdul Jana said, from the results of the investigation and TKP investigation of the INAFIS team and the results of the post-mortem, it was stated that Sobirin was strongly suspected of killing his wife first before ending his life by hanging himself.

"His wife was killed by her own husband by being smothered using the existing pillow. Then her husband ended his life by hanging on," said AKBP Andri when confirmed, Friday, December 13.

Meanwhile, from the results of the post-mortem on the victim Ida Haryati, it was found that there were bruises on the inner lip and right arm.

In fact, victim Ida Haryati is also known to be pregnant when she was found dead. The victim was pregnant with an incomplete female fetus aged 38 weeks weighing 1.1 kg.

"The victim's wife died in a pregnant condition and is estimated to have died about 2-3 days before being found," he said.

The alleged motive for the murder between the husband and wife was strengthened by the relationship between the two which has not been harmonious since mid-2024.

It is known, Ida Haryati asked for a divorce, but Sobirin refused to sign a divorce certificate. Then the victim's neighbor said that the two couples had been involved in an argument in front of his house on Monday, December 9, before the two bodies were found. Sobirin also had time to withdraw his wife's hand while threatening.

The police concluded that Sobirin was suspected of killing his wife, then Sobirin was desperate to end his life by hanging himself.

"Sobirin's body found abrasions around his neck, which matched the position of the body hanging when found. There were no other signs of violence found on his body and the condition of the corpse was 2-12 hours before being found," he said.

Previously, a husband and wife named Sobirin (35) and Ida Haryati (41) were found dead simultaneously in their house in the Pegongkelan area, Jalan Masjid Nurul Hidayah, RT 10/16, Kapuk, Cengkareng District, West Jakarta.

Before the heartbreaking incident occurred, the couple had already separated their beds.

However, his wife, Ida, the day before the incident, had asked for permission to separate from divorce from Sobirin. Ida admitted that she would marry another man.
