"Alhamdulillah, the perpetrators were arrested on Wednesday morning," Head of Criminal Investigation Unit of the Rejang Lebong Police, Ipda Andhar Wicaksono, reported by ANTARA, Wednesday, May 7.
The perpetrator with the initials Gu was arrested while in the Cikangkung Timur area, North Rengasdengklok, Karawang, West Java.

The alleged perpetrator Gu fled to Java after the murder of Euis Setia (42) and his daughter with the initials GMW (14).
The murder case was only revealed when the victim's neighbor was suspicious of a foul smell and many flies came out of the door of the Bendeng house which the victim contracted with the perpetrator at RT 01/RW 01 Kesambe Baru Village, East Curup District, Rejang Lebong.

"Based on information from the perpetrator's child who admitted that when the incident was at home, his parents were fighting at the time. Then he left the house to ask his neighbors for help, but no one came," said Sinar.
While outside the house, the perpetrator followed his son out carrying wood and his hands were covered in blood. The perpetrator then gave him some money and told him to go to his family's house in Tasikmalaya Village, North Curup District.
"For the time being, the child of the perpetrator, who is still 14 years old, has been asked for information. Currently, the child of the perpetrator is at a safe house to restore his psychological condition which is still traumatized," he said.
