JAKARTA - TP (21), one of the perpetrators of the robbery of members of the TNI AD, is known to be a good teenager. Even his family and residents around his house did not allow officers to pick up TP from his residence.

The news was conveyed directly by the Kasatreskrim of the South Jakarta Metro Police, AKBP Ridwan Soplanit. He revealed, in the process of picking up TP, the family and residents around his house did not accept it because the teenager was well known and could not possibly be involved in a crime.

"Pak RT and his family didn't think he would do something like this at first. So there was a time when residents refused," Ridwan told reporters at the South Jakarta Metro Police, Tuesday, May 10.

Ridwan continued, the suspect's family only allowed the arrest process after the police showed one of the other suspects, a friend of TP.

"But at that time we brought a friend who did the same thing and explained it, then they understood (believed)," said Ridwan.

Therefore, Ridwan suspects that there is a mastermind behind the beheading of two members of the TNI AD unit from the Jaya Regional Military Command. However, when asked for initials, he admitted that he did not know further.

"We'll check it out later. There was a trigger from some friends who were in charge of doing this and had an idea like that," he concluded.

Previously, it was reported that the Head of Public Relations of the Polda Metro Jaya, Kombes Endra Zulpan, revealed a case of attempted robbery of members of the Army from the Yonarhanud 10/ABC Kodam Jaya unit. A total of 9 perpetrators were arrested and made suspects. Zulpan said, three of the nine perpetrators were minors.

Zulpan said the nine robbers had the initials MRH (20), MRM (19), RM (24), NB (16), FR (17), TP (21), MAH (15), AM (19) and R ( 19).

"There are 9 suspects who have been named. Of these 9, 6 are adults and then 3 are minors," Zulpan said when he told reporters at the South Jakarta Metro Police, Tuesday, May 10.

Zulpan said that the robbery took place on Jalan Bumi, Kebayoran Baru, South Jakarta, Saturday, May 7, at 05.00 WIB. The perpetrator, continued Zulpan, before strangling two TNI members, held a liquor party (alcohol) in the Bulungan area, South Jakara.

"After they consumed liquor, the perpetrators went around using motorbikes. Then they saw the victim was using a red Mio motorbike," he said.
