The South Jakarta Metro Police have officially named Panca Darmansyah as a suspect in the alleged murder of 4 children in Gang Roman, Jalan Kebagusan Raya, Jagakarsa, South Jakarta. Panca executed her child by smothering it on December 3. Then, 3 days later, on December 6, the action was revealed by residents because of the pungent smell of carrion. Even though he is a suspect, Panca has not been arrested by the police. Why?

Deputy Head of Criminal Investigation Unit of the South Jakarta Metro Police, Kompol Henrikus Yossi, explained that his party had not yet detained him because Panca was still at the Police Hospital. Panca suffered injuries to his hands due to the sharp object cuts he carried out as an attempted suicide.

"Currently we are coordinating with the National Police Hospital that the person concerned is still at the Police Hospital because he is currently being monitored, or being treated by the hospital in particular," Yossi told reporters, Monday, December 11.

Later, after examining and treating the suspect, Panca will be detained.

"Yes (detained)," he said.

Yossi also explained that Panca's suicide attempt was carried out after killing 4 of his biological children.

"Injured himself, it was done after the person concerned carried out his heinous act. So the left wrist and right wrist were carried out on Sunday afternoon, December 3," he said.

The person concerned injured his left and right wrists. Then on Wednesday, December 6 in the morning, he injured his stomach with a kitchen knife," he added.
