MAKASSAR - The police arrested 5 perpetrators of stabbing supporters of candidate pairs in the Makassar Pilkada Munafri Arifuddin-Abdul Rahman Bando (Appi-Rahman). The candidate team M Ramdhan 'Danny' Pomanto-Fatmawati Rusdi (Adama) gave an explanation regarding the mention of one of the suspects as a supporter of Adama.
"Based on the release issued by Polda Metro Jaya, one of the suspects is a Danny-Fatma supporter with the initials MNM, aka DA. The others, including the suspected perpetrators, were not named as Danny-Fatma supporters, ”Adama's spokesperson Indira Mulyasari told reporters, Friday, November 13.
Indira explained that the stabbing incident was based on the victim's act of insulting her. One of the suspects, continued Indira, did not accept the insult.
"One of the suspects also said the victim was arrogant," continued Indira.
Indira emphasized that Danny Pomanto-Fatmawati's supporters are those who choose to support, be loyal or sympathize with the candidate pair number 1 in the Makassar Pilkada.
"Of course they did not coordinate with the Danny-Fatma team, nor with Pak Danny or for Mrs. Fatma to become loyalists, become supporters, become sympathizers or become voters. Like a fight between supporters of a candidate, of course it has nothing to do with the candidate or the candidate team they support, "said Indira.
Head of Public Relations of Polda Metro Jaya Kombes Yusri Yunus previously said that the police arrested five perpetrators of the stabbing of MM who supported the candidate pair for mayor-vice mayor of Makassar Appi-Rahman. However, one of them died after being arrested.

Yusri said the suspect S alias AR died because of his illness. He died after undergoing treatment in the hospital.
"When we made the arrest, suspect S was indeed in a congenital condition, which we then referred to the hospital. The person concerned had shortness of breath and died in the hospital," he said.
Meanwhile, there are still two other suspects. Investigators are still hunting those whose whereabouts are known.
"There are still DPOs, two initials AR alias R who play a role in observing the situation and JH who is the executing jockey," he said.
