PALANGKA RAYA - West Kotawaringin (Kobar) District Police, Central Kalimantan, arrested six suspects in the murder at Pangkalan Bun Park some time ago.

"The six suspects have the initials RK, HW, NR, AG, LK, and FH. They are a group of punk boys who often roam in Pangkalan Bun City," said Kobar Police Chief AKBP Yusfandi Usman at Pangkalan Bun as reported by ANTARA, Wednesday, February 21.

Previously, on Friday, February 9, 2024, a resident of Kobar Regency was surprised by the presence of a man unconscious at one of the gazebo Pangkalan Bun Park with a nose and mouth bleeding.

With this incident, the Kobar Police immediately followed up on the incident, and managed to arrest the six suspects.

Yusfandi explained that the motive for the incident carried out by the six suspects, starting with the wife of one of the punk boys, reported receiving disgraceful treatment from the victim.

"They were at Pangkalan Bun Park drinking alcohol, then HW's wife with the initials G came and reported to the suspect that she claimed to have been covered by the victim. In a drunken state, suspect HW and RK came to the victim to ask the truth, but they did not get a satisfactory answer, then they hit and hit the victim's head," he explained.

Furthermore, four other suspects followed the two suspects and beat the victim, until the victim fell down and limp helpless.

"When the victim was weak and helpless, suspect HW recorded the victim to make confessions of the incident experienced by his wife, then suspect HW ordered the suspect AG to tie the victim's leg to the fence, with the aim that the victim would not be able to escape and intentionally did no help to the victim," he explained.

After carrying out this heinous act, the suspects went to rest. At 05.30 WIB the suspects woke up and saw the victim in a lifeless state by bleeding from the nose and mouth as well as the back of the head.

"Knowing this, these suspects immediately fled, and they were caught by our members in East Kotawaringin Regency," he explained.

From this incident, the evidence that was successfully secured was that one floor sweep was split in two, and one cell phone.

For this incident, the six were charged with Article 338 of the Criminal Code in conjunction with Article 55 paragraph 1 to 1 of the Criminal Code or Article 170 paragraph 2 to 3 of the Criminal Code.

"With a threat of 15 years in prison," said Yusfandi.
