The murder suspect with the initials AAS (37) who tortured his own partner to death in the Bidara Cina area, Jatinegara, East Jakarta, turned out to be just released from prison. In addition, the suspect is also positive for drugs.

"The perpetrator and the victim are both users. When we did a urine test, the perpetrator was positive for drugs," said Jatinegara Police Chief Kompol Samsono, Wednesday, October 29, 2025.

When carrying out the action, the perpetrator used drugs.

The incident began when the perpetrator with the initials AAS was sitting with his future wife E and a friend with the initials G in his rented house, Polonia Housing with his future wife with the initials E and his friend G.

At around 18.30 WIB, the victim with the initials HJ (42) passed in front of the perpetrator's rented house.

"His wife's candidate had told the perpetrator that 'it was my way through'. Hearing that, the perpetrator spontaneously got up, took a sharp weapon of the type of shipwreck from the cupboard, then chased the victim to his house which was only two houses away from where he rented it," said Samsono.

Arriving in front of the victim's house, the perpetrator immediately reprimanded the victim in a high tone and accused him of plunging his sister.
