BANDUNG - Taufik Hidayat, a suspect in the kidnapping and abuse case against a woman with the initials YTR (29) in Bandung Regency, admitted all his actions to investigators. In the initial examination, the suspect admitted to committing violence against the victim while under the influence of alcohol.
West Java Police Chief Inspector General Pol. Rudi Setiawan said the confession was obtained after the suspect was successfully arrested by the police on Tuesday evening, June 23.
"Everything he did he admitted. He also expressed regret and admitted that his actions were carried out in a state of being influenced by alcohol consumption," said Rudi, quoted by Antara Wednesday, June 24.
However, investigators are still investigating the motive and the series of violence allegedly committed by the suspect against the victim during the period of kidnapping.
Before undergoing an examination at the West Java Police Headquarters, the suspect was taken to the Majalaya Police. The police also conducted a health examination and drug test on the person concerned.
"We conducted a health examination to ensure the suspect's health condition. Then we also did a drug test and the results were negative," said Rudi.
Taufik's arrest was made after the police found clues from the online transaction activity carried out by the suspect. The digital trail helped the joint team track the whereabouts of the perpetrator around the Majalaya area, Bandung Regency.
"This morning the person concerned made several transactions. This is a clue for us. The team on duty at Majalaya is still there, looking around the residential area and finally in the afternoon and evening managed to find and arrest the person concerned," he said.
This case previously shocked the public after the victim was found in a serious condition at the Hasan Sadikin Hospital (RSHS) Bandung. The family found out about the victim's whereabouts after receiving a WhatsApp message from an unknown person.
As a result of the alleged persecution he suffered, the victim suffered from vision impairment to blindness in both eyes, torn lips, difficulty speaking, unable to walk normally, and lost a number of valuable items.
The police are still investigating all the facts in the case, including the alleged kidnapping and violence which is said to have lasted for quite some time.
