Bandung City Police (Polresta) revealed that it only took four hours to apprehend three perpetrators of the murder that occurred on Jalan Raya Gading Tutuka, Soreang District, Bandung Regency, on Tuesday, May 28 at 16.00 WIB.

"At 20.00 WIB we managed to secure the perpetrators, because the perpetrators were members of a motorcycle gang and were troubling the community, so we shot the perpetrators on the spot," said Bandung Police Chief Kombes Pol Kusworo Wibowo as quoted by ANTARA, Wednesday, May 30.

He explained that the victim suffered a stab wound to the chest and was taken to the hospital first to be rescued, but his life could not be saved.

"Then investigators, both the Bandung Police and the Soreang Police, collected information from witnesses and processed the crime scene," he said.

The suspect's motive for killing the victim with the initials AK was because he was jealous of the perpetrator's girlfriend cheating on him with the victim.

The suspect found out that his girlfriend had the initials D had an affair with the victim. Then the afternoon before the incident, the suspect saw the contents of his girlfriend's message in the term "dearly to the victim," he said.

Furthermore, Kusworo revealed that the perpetrator with the initials MA then invited the other two perpetrators to meet the victim on Jalan Raya Gading Tutuka, then immediately stabbed the victim in the chest using a kitchen knife.

"This kitchen knife was used by the suspect to stab the victim, both in the left chest and left back, which caused the death of a stab wound to the back of the left back," said Kusworo.

From this incident, he also appealed to the group of victims not to try to take revenge and fully hand over this case to the police.

For their actions, the perpetrators were charged with multiple articles, namely Article 340 of premeditated murder with a threat of 20 years in prison or life and coated again with Article 338 and Article 55 for the two perpetrators who did not abuse.
