JAKARTA - A foreign national (WNA) from Nigeria, wary Nwambara (32) who has been named a suspect in a case of persecution. The perpetrators face a minimum prison sentence of five years for attacking the elderly with the initials N (55) and RD (58).

The North Jakarta Metro Police detained foreigners who went berserk in an apartment in the Kelapa Gading area, North Jakarta, on Friday (5/5) that night.

"Based on sufficient evidence, we will immediately carry out detention starting today," said Head of Criminal Investigation Unit of the North Jakarta Metro Police AKBP Iver Son Manossoh as reported by ANTARA, Saturday, May 6.

Iver said, from the results of the interim investigation, it was found that there were stab wounds of sharp objects in an elderly person who was attacked by AN. The person concerned suffered serious injuries so he needed to undergo treatment at the hospital.

The stab wound victim was taken to Gading Pluit Hospital for medical treatment. Meanwhile, another elderly person suffered bruises on the head, cheeks and face, allegedly due to attacks with the suspect's hands and feet.

According to Iver, firefighter Nwambara admitted to taking a knife from a victim's unit.

The two victims were allegedly abused because the suspect was drunk. Police are still investigating the cause of the drunkenness of the suspect from alcoholic beverages, drugs or narcotics, psychotropic substances and other addictive substances.

It happened on Friday at 18.43 WIB. At that time, the suspect was already on the 20th floor of the apartment. The two victims were also in the apartment because these elderly women were residents of the apartment.

That night, the first victim heard a sound someone suspected of kicking the door not far from the room unit where the first victim lived.

Then the first victim tried to get closer to find out what was happening in his neighbor's room. It turned out that a man went berserk at the crime scene (TKP) and without reason the elderly who became the first victim was chased by the perpetrator and then abused him.

The second victim intended to help the first elderly mother, but also experienced violence with sharp weapons. There were stab wounds to the arm, then back and several other parts of the body.

The knife used by death came from the room or the elderly unit who became the second victim.
