East Jakarta Metro Police managed to uncover the motive for the murder carried out by an employee of PT Kereta Api Indonesia (KAI) named Andika Ahid Widianto (26) against his wife at a rented house in a narrow alley, Jalan Asoka, Pulogebang District, East Jakarta.

"The motive is jealousy. The suspect accuses the victim of having an affair with other people," said East Jakarta Metro Police Chief, Kombes Nicolas Ary Lilipaly to reporters, Tuesday, July 2.

Suspect Andika has been married to a victim named Rizki Nur Arifahmawati (27) since two years ago. From that marriage, the married couple have one daughter.

"The victim and the suspect husband and wife are legal. They live with an 8-month-old girl," he said.

Meanwhile, before the murder took place, suspect Andika accused the victim of having an affair with another man. However, the suspect could not prove the accusation.

Because of jealousy, the suspect finally strangled the victim's neck and hit the victim's face and head covered in blood.

"The suspect accused the victim of having an affair with another person. The suspect accused his wife of being pregnant for 2 months with another man. Even though after being checked by investigators (after the murder) the victim was not pregnant," he said.

In addition, the suspect also admitted to the police that he did not regret after committing a cruel act of domestic violence (KDRT) against his wife.

"He felt innocent after killing his wife," he said.

As a result of his actions, the suspect was charged with Article 338 of the Criminal Code with a threat of 15 years in prison.
