JAKARTA - The police have named two suspects in the case against Sulistyawati (45). In the action, the perpetrators with the initials FT (26) and SF (40) held captive for 12 hours.

"The method used by the two suspects is that they hold the victim into a room and lock her up for approximately 12 hours," said Head of Public Relations of the Polda Metro Jaya Kombes E. Zulpan to reporters, Tuesday, January 25.

In addition, the motive for this confinement was because the victim could not keep his promise to pay his debts for 10 days. This is because the victim borrowed Rp. 1 million from the perpetrator.

"This victim borrowed money from the suspect in the amount of Rp. 1 million. Then in the agreement for the next 10 days, the money will be returned with a nominal increase of Rp. 1 million, 300 thousand," said Zulpan.

"But the fact is that after 10 days according to this agreement the victim cannot return the money," he continued. For this reason, the two suspects, who are brothers, took the victim into custody.

In this case, the two suspects are threatened with article 333 of the Criminal Code concerning depriving other people of their freedom with a sentence of six years in prison.

Meanwhile, Sulistyawati (45) became a victim of imprisonment and threats due to debt problems in the Ciledug Indah II area, Karang Tengah, Tangerang City, on January 7. The perpetrators had the initials FT (26) and SF (40), who were brothers.
