KUPANG - Investigators from the Criminal Investigation Unit of the Kupang Police, East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) have handed over four suspects in the case of beating a teacher at the Oelbeba State Elementary School after the Kupang District Attorney's Office stated that the investigation file for the case had been declared complete.

Kupang Police Chief, AKBP FX Irwan Arianto said, in addition to handing over the suspect, Kupang Police investigators also submitted files and evidence in the beating case to the Kupang District Attorney's Prosecutor.

"The police have handed over the files and the suspects to the public prosecutor. We have submitted the suspects and evidence to the Kupang District Attorney General's Office today for legal processing in court", he said as reported by ANTARA, Monday, August 8.

The four suspects who were handed over to the Kupang District Public Prosecutor were Alexader Niti (head of the school) IT, BOM, and JM, a resident of Oelbeba.

According to Arianto, before handing over all the suspects, a doctor must first check their health at the Kupang Police.

The suspects were involved in the abuse case against Anselmus Nale, a teacher at SDN Oelbeba, Oebola Village, Fatuleu District, Kupang Regency on May 31, 2022.

The submission of the suspect and evidence was carried out after all stages of the Kupang Police Criminal Investigation Department were declared complete by the prosecutor.

The process of investigating the case, which had gone viral on social media and captured public attention in NTT, was fairly fast since the suspect was detained by investigators on June 9, 2022.
