GOWA – Allegedly influenced by black magic, a Gowa couple in South Sulawesi almost poked out the eyes of their 6-year-old son for pesugihan.

AP, initials of the victim's name. The 6-year-old boy finally survived after AP's uncle, Bayu (34), thwarted the heinous act of his parents.

The incident occurred on Wednesday, September 1. At that time, Bayu had just returned from the funeral of Dandy, the son of perpetrator T who had just died.

Bayu suddenly heard AP screaming and crying. Bayu then entered the house. Bayu was shocked to see his family was persecuting AP. The eyes of the 6-year-old boy were about to be gouged out by his mother, father, grandfather and grandmother.

Bayu immediately took the child to be evacuated. The victim's grandmother, with the initials M, prevented the victim from being taken.

Bayu then asked the Malino Babinkantibmas officers to stop the perpetrators' actions.

According to Bayu, the victim was suspected of being a victim of pesugihan by his mother, father, and grandfather and grandmother.

Bayu took AP to the Sheikh Yusuf Hospital, Sungguminasa, Gowa. Bayu said, AP's parents are suspected of studying black magic. AP's mother was about to gouge out her son's eyes because he got a magical whisper.

"There are magical hallucinations like that. The family said they were suspected of learning black magic," said Bayu.

The perpetrators had hallucinations while carrying out the persecution at the perpetrator's house in Malino, Tinggimoncong District, Gowa Regency.

The police have arrested five suspected perpetrators of the assault to the AP. Head of Gowa Police Criminal Investigation Unit, AKP Boby Rachman, said that his party immediately went to the location and arrested five people when they heard the report.

Two of the perpetrators are now being referred to the Dadi Makassar Hospital for a mental examination.

"We are still waiting for the results of the hospital's psychiatric examination," said AKP Boby, as reported by Jawapos, Saturday, September 4.

According to AKP Boby, based on the results of the interrogation of the suspects, the motive was hallucinations.

The suspect's confession, said AKP Boby, often received magical whispers that required violence against the victim.
