REJANG LEBONG - Resort Police (Polres) Rejang Lebong, Bengkulu, is currently handling the murder case of the famous flower park owner in the area by the owner of a tourist business.

The murder case, he said, was carried out by a US suspect (40), a resident of Simpang Nangka Village, Selupu Rejang District, who daily has tourist sites in the area, after an argument broke out at the RSS An-Nissa pharmacy, Simpang Nangka Village, Selupu Rejang District.

"This victim died after receiving medical treatment for a while, the victim suffered a stab wound to his right arm, a torn wound to his stomach due to a sharp weapon," explained Sinar Simanjuntak as quoted by ANTARA, Monday, June 3.

After stabbing the victim, who was known to have a special relationship with his ex-wife, immediately surrendered to the Rejang Lebong Police Headquarters.

The chronology of this incident, he said, began before the incident of the reported US (perpetrator) at around 09.00 WIB came to meet L (40) the manager of RSS An-Nissa, who is the ex-wife of the perpetrator at the hospital.

Not long after, victim Widi, who also owns shares at RSS An-Nissa and invites the perpetrator to chat, came in anger, resulting in a fight and a moment later the perpetrator immediately took out a sharp knife and stabbed the victim.

Based on the results of the examination by the Rejang Lebong Police investigators, he added, the motive for this murder case was because the perpetrator asked An-Nissa's family property for land at the An-Nissa hospital to L, his ex-wife.
