The Palembang City Police (Polrestabes) held a reconstruction of the murder of a cooperative employee whose body was cast with cement at the Maskarebet clothing store, Palembang.

A total of 45 scenes were demonstrated by three main suspects in the re-enactment of this incident.

"Yes, today three suspects, namely ANT, KEV, and Pongki, demonstrated firsthand the scene of murder and casting the bodies of cooperative employees. There were 45 scenes demonstrated," said Head of Palembang Polrestabes Police Commissioner Harryo Sugihhartono in Palembang, Thursday, July 11, confiscated by Antara.

The scenes shown by the perpetrators started from turning off the surveillance camera (CCTV), execution of the victim, dragging the victim, casting the victim, and finally the suspects left the clothing store or crime scene.

The reconstruction received the attention of hundreds of residents who witnessed the perpetrators demonstrating the scene of murder. Residents seemed angry with the perpetrators and caused chaos and cheered.

The police also had time to distance the police line limit because some residents were about to approach the TKP area.

The case of the murder of a cooperative employee was revealed on June 26, 2024 after the police arrested one of the suspects and found the murder victim in a cement cor at a clothing store in the Maskarebet area, Palembang City.

After further investigation, the police managed to arrest the main perpetrator with the initials ANT on his escape to North Sumatra on June 29, 2024.

Then the police arrested the suspect KEV, who was the third perpetrator after surrendering himself on his escape in Empat Lawang Regency, South Sumatra, on Wednesday, July 10.
