GIANYAR - There is no evidence of an extramarital affair as alleged by I Nengah Wanta against his wife Kadek Setyawati. Wanta killed a male friend of his wife's friend, Jupriyadi, and even after that he abused his wife because of the emotion that he suspected that there was a special relationship between the two.

"As for the evidence, there is no evidence yet. Only the suspect's assumptions," said Sukawati Police Chief Kompol I Made Ariawan, Wednesday, January 26.

According to him, the suspect was only suspicious of his wife, who was suspected of having an affair with Jupriyadi. This allegation arose because his wife's shop was opposite the stall selling chicken pieces belonging to Jupriyadi who was killed.

"Because (the suspect was suspicious) he saw (his wife's) movements. Because the shop (the victim) was facing each other, there was a voice recording (on the cellphone) after being checked and it was not there and had never been caught and the suspect never saw directly having an affair. The suspect was only emotional," Ariawan added.

According to the police, the suspect and his wife often quarreled. Their relationship is known not to be harmonious.

"Indeed, he had quarreled from the beginning and the relationship between husband and wife was not harmonious. If the male victim was a friend, he said.

Meanwhile, the condition of the victim, Kadek Setyawati, has started to improve. The victim of her husband's abuse is still being treated at the hospital

"His wife's condition has stabilized but is still being treated at the hospital. In the future, we will continue to carry out an investigation to complete this case and coordinate with the prosecutor's office," said Ariawan.

As previously reported, I Nengah Wanta (36), a resident of Gianyar, Bali, stabbed his wife Kadek Setyawati. He also slashed Jupriyadi allegedly having an affair with his wife. Jupriyadi died from a stab wound.

This bloody incident occurred in the Candra Ayu housing estate, Batubulan Village, Sukawati, Gianyar Regency, Bali. The perpetrator has been arrested by the police.

The incident started on Monday, January 24th. The perpetrator came to his wife's pulse shop in Sukawati, Gianyar. At that time, the perpetrator had called Jupriyadi who was also selling near his wife's pulse shop.

According to the police, the perpetrator asked Jupriyadi to talk. The police said that the perpetrator had a grudge because he suspected that Jupriyadi was having an affair with the perpetrator's wife.

After a while, the assailant returned home to retrieve a sickle and knife. The perpetrator returned to his wife's credit shop and immediately grabbed Jupriyadi

"You are cheating on me (with) my wife," shouted the perpetrator as he grabbed Jupriyadi with a sharp weapon, as imitated by the police.

"Due to the stab, the victim ran to save himself in the direction of the rice fields in the south with the sickle still stuck in the victim's back," said Ariawan.

The victim who suffered a stab wound was later declared dead at the Ganesha Celuk Hospital.
