Bandung City Police (Polresta) arrested three suspected perpetrators of the murder of a teenager with the initials S (18) who was found dead in a bushy area around Si Jalak Harupat Stadium, Bandung Regency, Sunday, August 10 afternoon.
Bandung Police Chief Kombes Aldi Subartono said the victim died from a stab wound to the right side of his chest that penetrated his lungs.
"The victim was found at the scene with a stab wound to the chest. At the crime scene we also found the victim's cellphone," said Aldi in Bandung, Antara, Wednesday, August 13.
According to Aldi, this case started with a problem between the victim and a woman with the initials S. The woman told her friend with the initials U, which her uncle then heard.
Uncle S then contacted the victim and arranged a meeting at the scene with two of his colleagues.
"Arriving at the location, the three perpetrators allegedly attacked the victim and stabbed him. The victim fell and died on the spot," said Aldi.
The police have named three people as suspects, each from West Bandung and Cimahi. In addition, five other people were arrested for intensive examination to find out their respective roles.
Aldi suspects this case is a premeditated murder crime because the perpetrators came with sharp weapons.
"We are likely to apply Article 340 of the Criminal Code because there are indications of the intention to kill the victim," he said.
