On the way, HE suddenly asked MS to turn his vehicle towards the Hero's Cemetery. When turning in that direction, HE then carried out the persecution by pulling out his bayonet and then stabbing the thigh and chest of victim MS.
MS spontaneously tried to fight back and snatched the bayonet from HE, then stabbed back into HE's chest. MS then tried to get out of his car and asked local residents for help. Meanwhile HE also got out of the car and ran away.
The victim MS was then helped by residents and took him to the Ibnu Sina Hospital to get first aid, then he was referred to the Bhayangkara Hospital for intensive care.
After the incident, residents contacted the Panakukang Police. Upon arriving at the crime scene (TKP), members carried out a search until they found a man in the water canal, suspected of being HE. After being checked, his condition was lifeless.
"Meanwhile, MS is being treated intensively at Bhayangkara Hospital. There are no suspects yet, because the investigation is still ongoing," he said.
When asked what the motive for the deadly duel was, whether there was an alleged robbery and the two had a relationship, the Sector Police Chief said that the investigation was still in progress.
"We don't know them well. We are still speculating (alleged robbery) and an investigation is still being carried out. The status in question is the dismissal of the Indonesian Air Force, and his status is not TNI, meaning that he has become a civilian," he explained.
