MAKASSAR - The case of a police officer with the initials HU (37) related to domestic violence (KDRT) against his wife SBR (42), in Enrekang Regency, South Sulawesi, was resolved through restorative justice by the prosecutor's office.
"After listening to the presentation, I decided that the case filed for RJ (Restorative Justice) was approved to be resolved based on Restorative Justice," said the Head of the South Sulawesi High Prosecutor's Office, Sila H Palungan, in an expose on the case with the ranks in Makassar, Wednesday, May 6.
The proposal to stop the prosecution based on Restorative Justice was submitted by the Head of the Enrekang District Attorney's Office (Kejari) Andi Fajar Anugrah Setiawan virtually, witnessed by the Sulsel Wakajati Concerned, Aspidum Teguh Suhendro and his staff.
This case occurred on Tuesday, August 12, 2025, in Leoran Village, Enrekang District, Enrekang Regency. The incident was triggered when the suspect asked the victim to have sex.
However, at that time the victim did not respond to his invitation because he was busy ironing his child's school clothes. The suspect then forcibly pulled the victim's hand towards the room and locked the door and then committed abuse.
As a result of the incident, the victim felt quite severe pain in the head and a wound on the cheek. After the incident, the victim reported the alleged abuse to the police, then processed.
The submission of this RJ was approved based on the main consideration that the new suspect had committed a crime for the first time. The alleged criminal threat is no more than five years.
It was explained that a voluntary peace agreement was reached between the victim and the suspect. In order to ensure the continuation of the care and growth of their three children who are still young.
In addition, the victim stated that he still loved the suspect and that the victim's injuries had recovered. The suspect is known as a pious and responsible person for his family in his community.
"We must continue to pay attention to the sense of justice in society, especially for the future of children and the integrity of the family," said Sila emphasizing.
Therefore, Kajari instructed the Head of the Enrekang District Attorney's Office to immediately process the administrative termination of prosecution (SKP2) and ensure that all processes are transparent in accordance with applicable regulations.
This step is expected to restore family harmony and provide real legal benefits for the parties involved.
"For the attention of prosecutors, it is prohibited and there should be no transactional settlement of cases, if it occurs, the leadership will take firm action," he said.
