AMBON - One suspect in the beating and stabbing of a student at the Pattimura University (Unpatti) Ambon surrendered. The suspect with the initials EN (31) surrendered after the victim's family went berserk and came to the area where he lived.

"The suspect EN surrendered himself on Friday (13/2) night and was immediately examined by investigators and then detained at the Police Headquarters", said Head of Public Relations of the Ambon Island and Lease Islands Police, Iptu Ishak Leatemia, quoted by Antara, Sunday, February 14.

The beatings and persecution at Jembatan Merah Putih that killed Unpatti's student named Husein Suat (23) took place on Thursday, February 11 in the morning.

The police then questioned several youths and finally named five people as suspects. Now the number of suspects has increased to six after the perpetrator EN surrendered to the police.

Before EN surrendered, several mobs suspected of being from the victims' families came to the Kate-Kate area, Teluk Ambon sub-district. They carried out demonstrations and destroyed several housing units.

The crowd also demanded that one of the heads of the neighborhoods in the area be arrested because he was suspected of helping to protect the perpetrators of the crime. However, the action finally died down after the police took security measures.

The perpetrators were charged under articles 338 and 170 paragraph (2) of the Criminal Code or Article 351 (3) in conjunction with Article 55 paragraph (1) of the Criminal Code.
