TANGERANG - Jefri or T (initials) selling Toyota Calya cars filled with bloodstains, is suspected of being the perpetrator of the murder of an online taxi driver with the initials MR (35) in Tangerang City, Police

Tangerang City Metro Police Chief, Kombes Zain Dwi Nugroho said Jefri acted with his friend with the initials NH alias Dayat.

He revealed the modus operandi of the two perpetrators was to order an online taxi. Then, when he arrived on the side of the Asia Afrika PIK 2 road, Tanjung Burung Village, Teluknaga District, Tangerang Regency, Jefri caught the victim's neck using a rope.

"Then NH alias Dayat stabbed the victim using a knife until the victim was covered in blood and did not move anymore," said Zain in his statement, Friday, April 25.

After killing the victim, the two perpetrators dumped MR's body into a river in Kali Baru in the Tanjung Burung area, Teluknaga, Tangerang Regency. After that, he left the scene. Then, the car was taken by Jefri to his house.

"After carrying out the action, the two of them moved the victim's body to the rear trunk and took it to be dumped into Kali Baru in the Tanjung Burung area, Teluknaga, Tangerang Regency," said Zain.

The Calya car was sold by Jefri. But unfortunately, he did not know that his prospective buyer was a police officer who was dressed as a thug, or was in disguise.

Previously, Jefri was arrested by the police when he was about to sell a car to members of the Tangerang City Metro Police who were disguised in civilian clothes.

The Tangerang City Metro Police Chief, Kombes Zain Dwi Nugroho, explained that the arrest took place on Thursday night, April 24, at the Mutiara 2 Warehouse Complex, Tangerang City. At that time, police officers came to the location to check the condition of the car he was going to buy.

The car is Toyota Calya with police number B 1227 DZO, issued in 2024, and registered on behalf of a company. During the inspection, members found traces of an online taxi sticker on the seat, which raised suspicions.

"The suspicion got stronger when a lot of bloodstains were found on the front seat and the rear trunk of the car," said Zain in his statement on Friday, April 25.

Seeing this, members immediately contacted the Resmob Unit and the opsnal team who were on duty that night. The police then carried out a quick investigation and suspected IT alias Jefri of being the perpetrators of violent theft (curas).

Currently, IT has been secured at the Tangerang City Metro Police to undergo further investigation regarding the ownership of the car and the alleged crime.
