BENGKULU - The Bengkulu City Police Criminal Investigation Unit (Reskrim) team arrested HT (29), the perpetrator of the rape of his own younger brother.

"We explained that some time ago we received a report from a resident of Bengkulu City, precisely a resident of Kampung Melayu District, that he was raped by his own older brother," said Head of Criminal Investigation Unit of the Bengkulu Police, AKP Sujud Alif Yulam Lam in Bengkulu City, Antara, Tuesday, March 19.

After receiving the report, the Resmob Macan Gading Team of the Bengkulu Police immediately collected information, including evidence.

The HT perpetrator was arrested at his residence in Kampung Melayu District and is now being held at the Bengkulu Police.

Based on the results of the examination, the victim had received threats from the perpetrator who would kill him if he reported it to another party. The case occurred on March 13, 2025 at 07.30 WIB, when the perpetrator had just returned home after allegedly consuming alcohol.

The perpetrator came to the victim's room and knocked on the room door which was locked at that time. Because it was not opened, the perpetrator broke down the bedroom door, causing the victim to wake up and try to get out of the room.

"This action has only occurred once and the perpetrator is not drunk," said Sujud.

For his actions, the perpetrator was charged with Article 285 of the Criminal Code concerning the crime of rape with the threat of violence, which was threatened with a maximum imprisonment of 12 years.
