CIANJUR - Police officers from the Cianjur Resort, West Java, arrested AK(43), a resident of Warungkondang District, who provoked Asyiah's grandmother (76) to experience abuse from a number of residents for being accused of kidnapping children.

Head of Criminal Investigation Unit of the Cianjur Police, AKP Tono Listianto, said that AK, who had fled and hid in a hut in the middle of a public cemetery, was finally arrested by the police.

The day before, Cianjur Police officers arrested a man with the initials Ahm (50), a resident of Bunijaya Village, Warungkondang District, who abused Asyiah's grandmother and suffered bruises on several parts of her body.

"After examining and asking for information from a number of witnesses, it was discovered that AKyang first named the victim as the perpetrator of the kidnapping, and even AK had time to throw several punches at the victim's body," said Tono as quoted by ANTARA, Wednesday, May 7.

The motive for shouting the victim as a child kidnappers was because he often saw the victim guide children, plus the information obtained from social media regarding the rampant kidnapping of children in a number of areas.

"The perpetrator only suspected that he did not confirm who the grandmother was, immediately shouted at the kidnappers so that other residents were heard and there was persecution of the victim, including the perpetrator Ahmyang who was first arrested beating the victim," he said.

Tonomeyangkan aksi kekerasan yang dilakukan pelaku dan warga, terlebih korban merupakan seorang lansia (elderly) yang sudah sulit untuk berjalan. Korban juga kerap meminta bantuan pada anak-anak yang ditemuinya untuk menunjukkannya berjalan.

He asked residents not to immediately believe the news or issues circulating and to ensure that the truth first was not directly taken into account by themselves.

"It's better to report it to the police when you find anything suspicious in the neighborhood," said Tono.

For his actions, two perpetrators of the persecution were charged with Article 170 of the Criminal Code with a penalty of seven years in prison. The AKaku will be subject to multiple articles for provoking residents and accusing the victim of being a kidnappers.
