JAKARTA - The police took firm and measured action by shooting a female burner in the leg in Banjarmasin, South Kalimantan for resisting arrests. "The perpetrator with the initials TM (37) had to be paralyzed because he fought officers during today's arrest," said Head of Criminal Investigation Unit of the Banjarmasin Police Commissioner Thomas Afrian in Banjarmasin, Antara, Thursday, February 9. Thomas explained that the perpetrator was arrested in the Basirih area, South Banjarmasin District by a joint team from the Banjarmasin Police and the South Kalimantan Police Resmob. The man with his address at Teluk Tiram Street, West Banjarmasin, was previously wanted by the police since assaulting his victim with the initials NS last Sunday. The victim, who at that time came home from work, was approached by the perpetrator in the courtyard of a five-star hotel in Banjarmasin. Instantly, the perpetrator poured gasoline-liquid fuel on the victim's head and then burned it. Due to this incident, the victim suffered severe burns all over his body and face until now still undergoing intensive treatment at the Ulin Banjarmasin Regional General Hospital (RSUD). It is known from the victim's statement that the perpetrator is his ex-girlfriend and often sends threats via cellphone.
