AMBON - Maluku Regional Police Chief Inspector General Lotharia Latif ordered the Ambon Island Police to process the law against the alleged abuse case that caused the victim to die in front of the Police dormitory, Talake, Ambon City, last Sunday at 21.30 WIT.

The victim who died was a student with the initials RRS, 15, a resident of Ponegoro Ambon for allegedly being abused to death by AT, 25, a resident of Talake.

"I have ordered the Ambon Police Chief for the legal process of the perpetrators according to applicable legal procedures. There is no selective logging in law enforcement because everything is the same before the law," said Maluku Police Chief Inspector General Pol. Lotharia Latif, quoted by ANTARA, Tuesday, July 1.

To uncover the case, he said, a number of steps have been taken by investigators, including examining a number of witnesses, and also the victim having been autopsied at the Bhayangkara Ambon Hospital.

"The perpetrator has been named a suspect and has been detained at the Ambon Police detention center," he explained.

The Kapolda appealed to the public to remain calm and not to do other unwanted actions because the case had been handled by prioritizing a sense of justice.

"We urge the public to remain calm and leave it entirely to the Police for legal processing," he asserted.

Previously, it was suspected that the AT alias Abdi perpetrator beat the RRS victim's head three times in the Tanah Lapang Kecil (Talake) area, Nusaniwe District, Ambon City, to be precise in front of Bripka Alamsyah Bakker's house in the Talake Police Dormitory area.

This incident began when the victim and witness Muhammad Fajri Semarang (16) rode from Ponegoro to their brother's house in Talake.

Witness Muhammad Fajri told the police that initially he and the victim rode on a motorbike from the direction of Ponegoro to his brother's house in Talake to return a jacket.

When he entered the gate in the Talake Mosque, he and the victim passed the perpetrator and almost hit the person concerned. Then the witness looked back and saw the alleged perpetrator while walking after them.

After they arrived in front of his brother's house, the victim was still wearing a helmet and sitting on a motorbike, and the witness had gotten off the motorbike, while the suspect immediately approached them and without asking questions immediately hit the victim on the head who was still wearing a helmet once.

The AT perpetrator told the victim with the Ambon dialect "If Maso (if he enters) the complex people, give them the voices of the brothers".

Then the perpetrator hit the victim again on the head for the second time, then the victim said that they were riding motorbikes slowly.

After listening to the victim's explanation, the alleged perpetrator again threw a blow for the third time at the victim's head and at that time the victim's brother came out of the house saying if something happened then the alleged perpetrator was responsible.

As a result of the beating, the victim fell on a motorbike while placing his head on the wheel of the motorbike in a state of faintness.

The victim was then evacuated to his brother's house, but did not wake up, until he was rushed to the Army Hospital, dr. Latumiteten Ambon at 21.25 WIT, and was finally declared dead by the medical team at around 21.45 WIT.
