The Tapin Police, South Kalimantan (Kalsel) arrested the perpetrator of the premeditated murder with the initials MH (38) who had been on the run for two years.

MH is a fugitive from the premeditated murder case that killed Arbain (61) in Paring Guling Village, Bungur District, Tapin Regency.

From MH's confession, the person concerned had planned the murder by borrowing a sharp weapon from his friend with the initials IM.

"The perpetrator saw the victim sitting on the terrace of the house, then MH approached the victim on the grounds that he wanted to pay the debt, but suddenly stabbed a knife into the victim's body," said Jimmy.
