The East Jakarta Metro Police Satreskrim has again revealed the motive for the kidnapping, molestation and hostage-taking carried out by the suspect Indra Jaya (54) from the Cakung area, East Jakarta to the Pejaten Police Post (Pospol), Pasar Minggu, South Jakarta.

The results of the investigation showed that the suspect Indra Jaya kidnapped a girl with the initials Z (5) with the intention of asking for a ransom of Rp. 4 million from the victim's mother. However, the perpetrator's plan ran aground when he was arrested by the joint apparatus and the community at the Pejaten Police Post.

"The suspect plans to ask the victim's mother for a ransom of Rp. 4 million. Later the money will be used to buy drugs," said East Jakarta Metro Police Chief, Kombes Nicolas Ary Lilipaly to reporters, Wednesday, October 30.

From the suspect Indra's statement to the police, the purpose of the kidnapping began when he was not given a loan of Rp. 300 thousand by the victim's mother who only sells nasi uduk in the Cakung area.

"He plans to borrow Rp. 300 thousand but the victim's mother refused," he said.

After getting the refusal, the victim's mother then left the victim and the perpetrator at her house. The victim's mother also sells uduk rice.

The perpetrator then kidnapped the victim and took a knife at the victim's house. The perpetrator also invited the victim to ride a motorbike until he ended up being arrested in the South Jakarta area.

"The modus operandi of the perpetrators is to ask for a ransom barter with the victim's mother. With the hope of bringing a 5 year old child, if the mother calls, she wants to ask for a ransom," he said.

Currently, the suspect Indra Jaya is already in the East Jakarta Metro Police detention cell to account for his actions. The suspect was charged with multiple articles.

"The suspect Indra Jaya is threatened with imprisonment for 15 years," he said.

Previously, it was reported that the motive for kidnapping a girl in the Cakung area ended with confinement at the Pejaten police post (pospol), Pasar Minggu, South Jakarta on Monday, October 28, with the motive of revenge between the perpetrator with the initials IJ and the victim's parents.

The perpetrator has a grudge for not giving a loan by the victim's parents. However, the police are still investigating the perpetrator's statement.

"(The kidnapping) is for exchange transactions. So if the money is not given, then the child wants to be injured. That is the modus operandi of the IJ perpetrator against victim Z (5)," said East Jakarta Metro Police Chief, Kombes Nicolas Ary Lilipaly to VOI, Tuesday, October 29.

The results of the interim examination showed that the victim's parents and the perpetrator knew each other. However, when a urine check was carried out, the perpetrator was found to be positive for methamphetamine.

"The parents know each other. So the victim and IJ have known each other, because they met their mother several times at the TKP (the victim's mother's house)," he said.

As a result of his actions, the perpetrator with the initials IJ was charged with multiple articles, namely Article 76c of Law No. 35 of 2014 in conjunction with Article 76e of the Law on Child Protection. And or Article 328 of the Criminal Code related to kidnapping.
