JAKARTA - Members of the Criminal Investigation Unit of the Sawah Besar Sector Police managed to arrest the perpetrators of the murder and rape of AW (20) woman on Jalan Mangga Besar, Mangga Dua Selatan Village, near the Nur Islamiah Mosque, Sawah Besar District, Central Jakarta.

"One perpetrator was arrested. The perpetrator was someone close to the victim. The perpetrator was not the victim's boyfriend, but a close friend of the victim," said Sawah Besar Police Chief Kompol Maulana Mukarom to VOI, Friday, March 4, evening.

The police chief confirmed that the victim died as a result of being murdered.

"It is true, it is alleged that the victim was murdered. Before being killed, the victim was raped because there were signs of violence on the neck of the former strangulation," said Kompol Maulana.
