TANGERANG A man suspected of being involved in the murder of a woman with the initials R (48) in a house that was used as an inn in the Jalan Empu Barada Raya area, Kelapa Dua, Tangerang Regency, was arrested by the police.

The arrests were made by a joint team from the South Tangerang Police Criminal Investigation Unit and the Kelapa Dua Police Criminal Investigation Unit on Sunday, May 25.

"The perpetrator was successfully secured by joint personnel," said South Tangerang Police Chief, AKBP Victor Inkiriwang, when confirmed on Sunday, June 1.

However, Victor has not explained in detail the chronology of the incident or the identity of the perpetrator because investigators are currently still in the process of intensive examination.

"Currently, the perpetrators are being investigated further by investigators from the South Tangerang Police Satreskrim," he said.

Meanwhile, the Head of Criminal Investigation Unit of the Kelapa Dua Police, Iptu Joko, revealed that the victim was strongly suspected of being a murder victim. This is based on a number of wounds found on the victim's body.

"Yes, that's right. It is suspected that the murder victim was found with several injuries on his body," said Joko, Monday, May 26. He added, to determine the cause of death, his party is still waiting for the results of the medical examination.

The discovery of the victim's body began with the suspicion of local residents. One resident named Ahmad Syahpohan said the victim was found after the inn officer suspected a guest who did not come out even though the check-out time had passed.

"Because it's time for guests to leave but they haven't left yet, finally the bedroom door is opened. It turns out that there are victims who have died," said Pohan when met at the location, Sunday night.

He admitted that he did not know for sure the cause of the victim's death and only heard the news that a body was found in the inn room.

"I didn't see it right away. Suddenly someone said someone died when they wanted to clean up the room," he said.

Until now, the police are still investigating the motives and complete chronology of the case.
