MATARAM - Police arrested seven students suspected of being involved in a stabbing case on the Lombok International Airport (BIL) II Bypass Road in the West Lombok Regency, West Nusa Tenggara.

Direskrimum Polda NTB Kombes Hari Brata said the Puma Team of the NTB Police assisted the West Lombok Police in arresting seven students suspected of being involved in the stabbing case on Saturday, December 4.

"We are only carrying out the 'back-up' function, for further handling it has been handed over to the West Lombok Police," said Hari Brata, quoted by Antara, Wednesday, December 8.

The seven students who were arrested had the initials FB (22), IS (19), IH (15), MIH (18), MH (15), MN (16), and KU (18). From the initial interrogation, there were only three roles in the stabbing of the victim, Rizky, who was also a student.

"Three people have the initials MN, KU, and another KA is still being chased," he said.

The perpetrators were arrested from the report of the victim's colleague who witnessed the stabbing. The main cause is because of reprimanding each other.

Feeling offended, the group of students who were hanging out on the side of the road assaulted the victim and two of his colleagues.

Until one of the student gangs took out a dagger and stabbed the victim in the stomach. Knowing the victim was seriously injured, this group of students then fled.

His colleague, who saw the victim was covered in blood, immediately rushed him to a hospital in the Gerung area, West Lombok Regency.

However, the victim who was already bleeding profusely could not be saved until Sunday, December 5.

The handling of the students' cases also involved the Mataram Penitentiary (Bapas). Given that five of the seven students involved are still in the child category.

"So the filing is split, considering that there are children in conflict with the law, therefore in law enforcement the Fathers is also involved," he said.

For legal handling at the West Lombok Police, Hari said his party was still exploring the role of each student. Their role was explored from the testimony of witnesses and the evidence that was secured.

However, from the temporary handling, this case leads to a criminal act of persecution as stipulated in Article 76C Juncto Article 80 Paragraph 1, Paragraph 2, Paragraph 3 of Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 35/2014, subsidiary to Article 170 Paragraph 2 of the 3rd Criminal Code.
