JAKARTA - Polda Metro Jaya revealed the motive for the murder of a man whose body was found in a sack at Pesanggrahan River, South Jakarta. Head of Public Relations of Polda Metro Jaya Kombes Pol Endra Zulpan in Jakarta, Thursday, June 30, said that the perpetrator with the initials MRIA killed ABTL's life because the victims often experienced violence. The perpetrator was hurt, he said.

Initially, the victim and the suspect were friends and both from Lampung. Victims often come to the inn to stay overnight.

"Every day, the victim is often rude to the suspect," said Endra Zulpan, quoting Antara, Thursday, June 30.

Zulpan added that the suspect's peak of frustration with the victim occurred on Monday night, June 27. The perpetrator who was sleeping was suddenly kicked by the victim, making him startle and wake up.

"The suspect was sleeping on the bed, suddenly the victim came and kicked the suspect so that the suspect was shocked and angry with the victim," said Zulpan.

Shortly after, a fight broke out between the two. During the fight, the suspect saw a knife on the table and took it and stabbed the victim in the neck three times until the victim died.

The suspect then tried to eliminate the traces by cleaning the floor covered in the victim's blood. The suspect then took the victim's money and cellphone.

"Furthermore, the suspect wrapped the victim using a plastic trash bag and sack and the suspect put a bolster pillow in the bag," said Zulpan.

The suspect carried ABTL's body on the victim's motorbike in the front with the victim's position transversely. The victim's body was then taken to the Pesanggrahan River.

Upon arrival, the suspect put a stone in the sack and tied the ends with rope. After that, the suspect threw the victim into the river.

The suspect was arrested by the police at an inn in Bogor, West Java, on Wednesday (29/6). For his actions, the suspect is subject to Article 338 of the Criminal Code and or Article 365 of the Criminal Code with a maximum imprisonment of 15 years.
