Release of the murder case of a prostitute at the Mira Hotel Banjarmasin (ANTARA)

BANJARMASIN - A murder case in Banjarmasin, South Kalimantan, which killed a minor with the initials YA (14) turned out to have an online prostitution background.

The Head of Banjarmasin Police, Kombes Rachmat Hendrawan, said that the perpetrator and the victim agreed to date Rp. 4 million for two nights.

"But the perpetrator on behalf of Meiji Zwageri Rasidi (20) apparently did not fulfill his promise according to the agreed tariff. He only gave Rp. 250,000 to the victim," explained Hendrawan as quoted by Antara, Tuesday, December 29.

The quarrel led to the murder in room 308 on the 3rd floor of the Mira Hotel, Banjarmasin, which started with the Rp. 250,000 tariff that the perpetrator tried to take back. As a result, YA got pampered and there was a great fight until Rasidi persecuted him until he died.

The finding of YA's body at around 12.00 WITA on Monday (28/12) was immediately followed up by the police. Hendrawan ordered the perpetrators to be immediately arrested and a joint team was formed consisting of the Central Banjarmasin Police Criminal Investigation Unit, the Banjarmasin Police Satreskrim Buser Unit with the support of the South Kalimantan Regional Police Resmob.

The Head of South Kalimantan Regional Police, Inspector General Rikwanto, even paid special attention so that it could be revealed quickly.

In less than eight hours, Rasidi was arrested at around 7.30pm WITA Monday night, in Kapar Village, Batang Alai Selatan District, Hulu Sungai Tengah Regency. The HST Police Criminal Investigation Unit supported the arrest of Rasidi, who at that time was riding public transportation.

The results of his investigation, said Hendrawan, turned out that he had fled to Banjarmasin with a stolen motorbike belonging to his family in Kotabaru Regency. "We have also confiscated the motorbike and it is true that there are reports of missing motorbikes at the Kotabaru Police," he said.

Meanwhile, Rosidi admitted to all of his actions that he had a dark eye until he killed YA. The police also confiscated a number of evidence, including a hammer and knife to injure YA to death.

"I plan to go straight back to Kotabaru after bringing my motorbike. But because it was late at night, I stayed overnight in Banjarmasin. After the case happened at the hotel, I wanted to run away to Birayang, HST, to my family," said Rasidi.

The suspect charged with Law No. 35/2014 on Amendments to Law No. 23/2002 on Child Protection and Article 338 of the Criminal Code on Murder with the threat of 15 years imprisonment.
