MAKASSAR - Tallo Sector Police, Makassar City, South Sulawesi arrested a father with the initials R (70) who allegedly killed his biological son, Rusli (42).

The perpetrator felt offended when his own child was humiliated at the victim's house, Jalan Sinassara, Tallo District, Makassar, South Sulawesi.

"The perpetrator hit the victim's head using a 12 x 12 centimeter wooden block with a length of approximately one meter which resulted in the victim's death at the TKP (case)," said Tallo Police Chief Kompol Badollahi as quoted by Antara, Friday, June 24.

He said the act of violence that took the person's life began with R's arrival in his village in Bone Regency, who then went to his son's house on Jalan Sinassara Makassar, to stay in touch.

However, the child objected to his father's presence so that unpleasant words emerged from a child to his father, resulting in an argument.

"What it means is that it's troublesome, maybe with the arrival of their parents from this village, the children are burdened, so there is a quarrel between them," said Kompol Badollahi.

"This morning, after the father came home from the morning prayer, and returned home, saw his son sleeping on the sofa, then hit him with a stick. The perpetrator is currently detained at the Tallo Police Station, and is in the process of being investigated," he added.

At the age of the incident, the forensic team carried out a crime scene investigation (TKP) to then take the victim's body to the Bhayangkara Hospital for a visum et repertum, considering the victim's wound was on the head.

Furthermore, the victim's body has been returned to the funeral home for the funeral process.

Police investigators are also still investigating the perpetrators, including to find out whether or not there is a mental disorder.

Separately, the victim's son, Fadwan, said that he had just seen his father on the sofa with severe head injuries, when he was about to leave the house to go to work, while other family members were still sleeping.

He suspected that his grandfather took a block and hit the victim's head who was sleeping on the sofa at his house.

"My father was sleeping, he was sleeping and then he was hit, hit on the head three times. The problem was not there, suddenly he was hit. This my grandfather has no mental disorder. Suddenly he was hit, he doesn't know what's wrong," he said.
