Previously, a woman with the initials MMS (45) reported her husband D (45) related to the alleged case of domestic violence (KDRT) to the Kembangan Police, West Jakarta. MMS has been a victim of violence since 2019.

MMS admitted that he received a number of violence in the form of beatings many times until the threat of being killed.

The victim said that her husband's cruel act had been going on since 2019. At that time he was surprised to see the behavior of her husband who was often angry. Moreover, he was hit and caused his eyes to bleed.
