Sumedang - The Sumedang Police, West Java, have uncovered a premeditated murder and robbery case that occurred in Girimukti Village, North Sumedang District, Sumedang Regency.
Sumedang Police Chief AKBP Sandityo Mahardika said the victim named Juanda alias Juan bin Hendi Rustandi was found dead at the scene with a number of wounds from sharp weapons and gunshots from a gun.
"The victim suffered stab wounds to several parts of the body, including the neck, chest, shoulder, and waist. In addition, there were four gunshot wounds to the left head due to a gun," he said.
The Police Chief explained that the police also arrested one suspect with the initials AA (25), a private employee from Ciherang Village, South Sumedang District.
Based on the results of the investigation, the incident began when the suspect picked up the victim using a black car with the pretext of making a buy-sell transaction (COD) of a mobile phone because his aunt was said to be buying a mobile phone in the Girimukti area.
Upon arriving at a relatively quiet location, the suspect got out of the vehicle on the grounds of going to his aunt's house. However, the suspect is suspected of having prepared a knife that was stored in the car.
The suspect then pointed a Glock-19 Softgundan type firearm and shot four times at the victim's head, then the suspect stabbed the victim repeatedly in the chest and shoulder.
Meanwhile, the victim tried to hold off the attack with his hands before finally dying at the scene.
"After carrying out the action, the suspect took away the car used and a number of the victim's belongings, including several mobile phones of various types," he added.
The police, who received a report from the victim's family, immediately conducted an investigation and arrested the suspect on the same day at around 13.00 WIB on the same day as the incident on Sunday (22/2) in the South Sumedang District.
From the suspect's hands, officers secured a number of evidence, including one Glock-19 brand soft gun and 197 rounds of gotri bullets, a knife with a silver iron handle, several mobile phones, clothes with blood stains, and a number of vehicles including a car which is known to be a rental vehicle.
The Police Chief also said that the motive was temporarily suspected of being hurt or revenge against the victim.
"According to the suspect's statement, he felt offended because the victim had said that the child his wife had given birth to was not his biological child. In addition, there is also an economic motive," he said.
For his actions, the suspect was charged with Article 459 of the Criminal Code and/or Article 458 of the Criminal Code and/or Article 479 of the Criminal Code with a threat of death penalty, life imprisonment, or a maximum prison sentence of 20 years.
