Bogor Police arrested RA (27), a man from Pasir Muncang Village, Caringin, Bogor Regency, West Java, who repeatedly stabbed his wife SJ's body (33), after his request for reconciliation was rejected by his mother-in-law.

Head of the Bogor Police Criminal Investigation Unit, AKP Muhammad Ilham, explained that the stabbing incident occurred on Sunday, October 1.

"In this case, a perpetrator with the initials RA (27) was arrested, with the victim with the initials SJ," he said during a press conference in Bogor Regency, West Java, Tuesday, October 3, which was confiscated by Antara.

The premeditated murder began when RA, who had been separated from the house for 10 days with SJ, came to SJ's house to meet SJ's parents. At that time, RA, who was drunk with alcohol, conveyed her request to reconcile with SJ.

However, SJ's parents rejected RA's request for a referral because the married couple had been divorced religiously since RA declared three divorces. After being rejected, RA said goodbye. However, when SJ's parents were in the kitchen, RA then sneaked into SJ's room.

"The perpetrator entered the victim's house using a side door and went straight to the victim's room," explained Ilham.

Arriving at the victim's room, SJ, the perpetrator RA immediately took out a knife which had been stored behind his jacket from the start. RA then stabbed the victim's body several times in the back. SJ also tried to avoid it, so the knife stab also hit his arm.

"Because of the perpetrator's actions, SJ suffered two stab wounds to the upper right hand and three stab wounds to the back," said Ilham.

After carrying out the action, RA immediately fled. However, RA can be secured by the local community. SJ, who suffered stab wounds, is still undergoing intensive medical treatment.

For his actions, RA is suspected of violating Article 351 paragraph (2), Article 338 of the Criminal Code Jo 53 of the Criminal Code and Article 340 of the Criminal Code Jo 53 of the Criminal Code with a penalty of 20 years in prison.
