The Tragic End Of The Elderly Under The Cilincing Bridge, Died After Being Hit By A Dongkrak Head By A Jumping Block

JAKARTA P (65), an elderly man, never imagined that the search for traditional leaves 'traditional medicines he used to pick himself' would be the last trip of his life.

Thursday night, July 31, 2025. Under the access bridge of Marunda, North Jakarta, he walked along with his son. There is no feeling whatsoever. Only a small routine of an old man who remains persistent in his old age.

However, from the dark shadow under the bridge, the figure of BI (36) came. A perpetrator of the theft of jumping squirrels (Bajilo), known as a recurrence crime in the Cilincing area. With an iron jack in his hand, BI hit the victim's head without warning.

Dongkrak. Not a sharp weapon. Not a bullet. Only cold metal is usually used to replace tires. But that night, it became a tool for killers.

The victim fell covered in blood. The victim's child screamed, the residents scattered. The perpetrator fled 'hidden not far from where he ended someone's life.

The victim was rushed to the hospital, but the head wound was too severe. Early this morning, Friday, August 1, 2025, he was declared dead.

The police moved quickly. The perpetrator was finally arrested while gathering with other Bajilo groups, only 500 meters from the scene. "There was no resistance. He admitted his actions," said the Cilincing Police Criminal Investigation Unit 1, Ipda Restu Setiawan.

BI is now secured and examined intensively. He is not a new player. His name often appears behind reports of loss of goods, theft in trucks running, and other reckless actions on the streets of Cilincing.

But this time, the action was not only troubling. But taking life. An elderly person. A father.
