The Kendari City Police (Polresta) arrested the main perpetrator in a robbery case that killed a woman with the initials M (51) in Kendari City, Southeast Sulawesi Province (Sultra).

Kendari Police Chief Kombes Pol Aris Tri Yunarko said the two suspects had the initials MF alias CM and ND alias NV, who were the victim's son-in-law.

"There are two perpetrators, one person is the victim's son-in-law," said Aris when met in Kendari, Wednesday, April 17, as reported by Antara.

He revealed that based on the results of the investigation, his party revealed that the case was not a robbery, but a premeditated murder case that was masterminded by the victim's son-in-law NV.

"Just robbery as an alibi. The fact is premeditated murder," he said.

Aris explained that the premeditated murder case was a fabrication of the NV victim's son-in-law, when entering a report at the Poasia Police. NV paid a man with the initials MF to kill the victim.

"Currently, the two perpetrators have been detained at the Kendari Police," said Aris.

Based on the results of the interrogation of the MF perpetrator, he continued, the motive for the premeditated murder was due to the perpetrator's grudge against the victim.

NV asked its neighbor MF alias CM to help him in carrying out his plan to kill his own in-laws.

Previously, the Kendari Police chased the perpetrators of the tire burst mode that killed a mother with the initials MR (51) on Madusila Street, Anduonohu Village, Poasia District, Kendari City, Southeast Sulawesi.

Head of the Kendari Police Criminal Investigation Unit, AKP Fitrayadi, when met in Kendari, Sunday night, said that his party had carried out an in-depth investigation into the case.

"We have taken a number of witnesses at the scene," said Fitrayadi.

He mentioned that from the results of the investigation, it was known that the perpetrators were four people with each person having their respective roles.

"Our team is still in the field and is conducting an investigation into the perpetrators," he said.

Fitrayadi also revealed that the robbery incident with the tire burst mode began when the victim and her son, the initials ND (24) were driving from Indogrosir to Abeli District using a minibus with a yellow DT 1340 CR police number.
