JAKARTA - A woman with the initials NL planned to kill her boss, a shipping businessman named Sugianto, because of heartache. NL even prepared IDR 200 million for the shooting of Sugianto in Kelapa Gading, North Jakarta. Where side she get the money?

"The IDR 200 million is NL's savings," said Metro Jaya Police Chief Inspector General, Nana Sudjana, at a press conference at the Jakarta Metro Jaya Police Headquarters, Monday, August 24.

NL planned to kill Sugianto since March 2020. However, she did the plan on August 13. The person who assisted NL agreed to help after NL admitted that Sugianto threatened her.

"She demanded to kill the victim (Sugianto). From the suspect, NL has also prepared IDR 200 million to find 4 hitmen. After that, start planning the killings," said Inspector General Nana.

Apart from the executor, the money prepared by NL, the mastermind of the murder, was used to buy a motorbike for the executor who shot Sugianto at the Royal Gading Square shop. Meanwhile, the firearms used, according to the police, have been in the possession of one of the suspects since 2012.

"Suspect AJ bought IDR 20 million with around 43 bullets," said Nana.

To execute this plan, the suspects devised two murder scenarios. First, Sugianto would be invited out by one of the suspects who pretended to be a tax officer from the North Jakarta Regional Office.

Initially, they would kill the victim in a car. But the scenario failed because the victim refused to leave. They changed the scheme with the plan to shoot Sugianto.

The whole scenario was discussed in several meetings at a hotel. The execution took place on August 13. The shooter with the initials DM fired 5 shots. Sugianto died. 

NL had worked as a financial administration employee at Sugianto's company since 2012. She was offended because of Sugianto's scolding and intercourse. Allegedly, NL was involved in tax issues. Then the victim threatened to report her to the police.

"There are indications of embezzling the money. There were several reprimands from the North Jakarta tax to the company. The victim threatened that he would report NL to the police," said Inspector General Nana.
