BANDUNG - The Bandung City Police arrested two perpetrators of the murder of the initials AD (32) and MS (21) against a fisherman with the initials AC (19) in the Gedebage area, who is known to be siblings.

Acting Head of the Bandung Police, Kombes Adi Wijaya, said the incident began when the two perpetrators approached the victim who was fishing on Saturday (21/2).

"Then the perpetrator tried to take the vehicle. Well, then there was also resistance from the victim," said Adiwijaya as reported by ANTARA, Thursday, March 5.

He explained that the modus operandi used by the two perpetrators was to pretend to be a member of the National Police to carry out vehicle theft.

However, the victim, who felt suspicious, then resisted to defend his motorcycle.

The perpetrators MS and AD then attacked the victim using sharp weapons and stabbed the victim three times in the chest.

"As a result, the victim died on the spot. Then for the perpetrators, these two are brothers and sisters, siblings," he said.

After the incident, the two perpetrators fled while carrying the victim's motorcycle towards Garut and were detected in the Tasikmalaya area.

"In about a week, members of the Bandung Police Criminal Investigation Unit were able to uncover and arrest the perpetrator," he said.

The police then named MS and AD as suspects and detained them for further legal proceedings.

In this case, the police secured a number of evidence in the form of a knife, the victim's shoes, fishing gear, and the victim's motorcycle.
