BEKASI - Police have arrested six suspects who perpetrated the abuse of a family in Bekasi, on Jalan Mawar Indah, Pejuang Village, Medan Satria District.

The head of the Medan Satria Police, Kompol Agus Rohmat, said the main suspect had the initials AJ (28). Meanwhile, other actors including ES (28), OS (33), SM (20), MA (23) and BP (17) were initially invited to collect debts.

"The perpetrators' friends did not know that the main perpetrator (AJ) had a debt of Rp900 million to victim T. Then, in the house there was a beating against the victim, his wife and parents," said Agus Rohmat during a press conference, Monday, September 13.

Agus said the chronology of the beating was carried out by spraying chili pepper on the victim's sister's face. After hitting the face, a chase took place in the house.

The T family then shouted that there was a thief to ask for help from local residents. AJ's gang tried to escape from the location of T's house, but security officers had closed all access to exit the housing.

"The victim's parents shouted 'thief' and the security guard knew there in the housing complex so the exit was closed. Then they were arrested by the community, then the Medan Satria Police came to secure it," he explained.

In addition to securing the six perpetrators, the police also confiscated evidence in the form of 1 knife, 2 stun guns, 1 softgun, 1 assembled rifle, 7 sleeves, 2 ropes, 4 handcuffs, 2 black duct tape, 6 pairs of rubber gloves.

For his actions, Agus ensured that the perpetrators would be subject to multiple articles. Among them are Article 170 of the Criminal Code which carries a penalty of more than five years and the 1951 Emergency Law which carries a threat of 12 years in prison.
