BANDUNG - The West Java Regional Police (Polda) said they did not want to be reckless in proving the suspect in the case of the murder of mother and child in Subang Regency which occurred seven months ago.

The Head of Public Relations of the West Java Police, Kombes Ibrahim Tompo, said that the police cannot identify a suspect without a solid basis. So according to him, investigators also work normatively according to procedures.

"We also need clear evidence, officers do not work recklessly, so it takes a long time, because it does require clarity of evidence," said Ibrahim in Bandung, West Java, as reported by Antara, Wednesday, April 6.

So far, according to him, the police have examined 121 witnesses and also examined 216 pieces of evidence. Then the police have also examined as many as 10 crime scenes (TKP) related to the case.

According to him, now investigators have also obtained a number of clues or information after the sketch of the perpetrator's face was distributed to the public. However, so far these instructions need to be proven as well as their accuracy.

"But we really hope that people who can provide information related to this sketch will be very useful for us," he said.

He also confirmed that his party really hopes that the case will be revealed soon. The reason is that with the investigation process which has been running for almost eight months, the energy and thoughts of the investigators have been very drained.

"We also hope that the disclosure of this case is fast, but because there are obstacles, we cannot work without a good basis," said Ibrahim.

Previously, residents of Subang Regency were shocked by the discovery of the bodies of the mother and child covered in blood in the trunk of the car. Police confirmed that the body was the victim of a homicide.

The bodies of Tuti (55) and Amelia (23) were found lifeless in the trunk of an Alphard type car in Ciseuti Hamlet, Jalan Cagak Village, Jalan Cagak District, Subang Regency on Wednesday (18/8/2021).
