JAKARTA - Two TNI personnel with the initials AOK and B who abused a fourth-grade elementary school boy in Kupang have now been detained.

"Now both of them have been detained in Kupang, specifically at Denpom Kupang to undergo legal processes," said the Commander of the Kodim/1627 Rote Ndao, TNI Lt. Col. Educ Permadi when contacted, reported by Antara, Monday, August 23.

He admitted that the molestation case against the elementary school boy was his responsibility, and made sure that nothing like this would happen again in his jurisdiction.

Educ explained that currently the two TNI personnel are being investigated by Denpom Kupang, to find out the motive for the actions of the two personnel.

The TNI institution has also visited the victim and has also had time to do a health check on the boy and his condition has begun to improve. Previously, it was reported that two TNI members who served at the Kodim /1627 Rote Ndao, East Nusa Tenggara abused a boy named Petrus Seuk on Thursday, August 19.

As a result of the actions of the two TNI members, the boy was treated intensively at the Ba'a Regional General Hospital (RSUD) because several parts of his body were injured and bruised.

Joni Seuk, the father of the victim, said that his son was abused because he was accused of stealing a cellphone and was forced to confess, and as long as he didn't confess, the victim continued to be abused.

The victim was escorted by AOK to the house naked and battered. Joni said that he was confused because his son was forced to return the stolen cellphone even though it was not his son who stole it.
