CIMAHI - The Criminal Investigation Unit of the Cimahi Police arrested a man who tortured his wife to death.

The Head of Criminal Investigation at the Cimahi Police, AKP Yohannes Redhoi Sigiro, said that the perpetrator Cecep Dadan (37) was arrested at his residence in the Padaasih area, West Bandung. The perpetrator was said to be emotional because his wife Nani Sudiani (39) was jealous of going with another man.

"The victim died on Wednesday, September 12 at 8:00 p.m. WIT. The perpetrator abused his wife quite sadly at his home", said Yohannes at the Cimahi Police Station, Cimahi City, West Java, quoted by Antara, Wednesday, September 22.

According to him, the heinous act was carried out for hours until midnight. The perpetrator is also suspected of beating his late wife with an iron rod.

"After the persecution, the victim felt sick and vomited at home, and was declared dead at the hospital", he said.

According to Yohannes, the perpetrator is known to have more than one wife. In addition to the legal wife registered by the state, the perpetrator is also known to have unregistered marriages.

At the time of the incident, according to him, the wife of the perpetrator was also at the scene. His wife, said Yohannes, had tried to hold back to stop the abuse of the victim.

"So there is no involvement of his wife, this is purely the act of the perpetrator", he said.

Yohannes also ensured that the perpetrators of the heinous act were not under the influence of alcohol or other prohibited items.

As a result of his actions, the perpetrator is suspected of being under Article 44 Paragraph 3 of the Criminal Code for Domestic Violence (KDRT), which carries a penalty of 15 years in prison.
