TANGERANG Heryadi (67), a suspected witchcraft shaman in Ciputat, South Tangerang (Tangsel) continues to be the talk of local residents. Some people say that Heryadi is the son of a TNI member. Perhaps, it has something to do with the discovery of firearms (senpi) and pineapple grenades found by the police at his home.

The US, a resident who asked for his name to be initialized, said that Heryadi lived on Jalan Haji Hasan, Sawah Lama, for decades. The house belongs to his parents, who have died. He lives with his young wife. Meanwhile, the old wife is placed in another house which is about 300 meters from Heryadi's main house.

"The parents are ABRI or TNI," said AS when met by VOI at Haji Hasan, Sawah Lama, Ciputat, South Tangerang, Wednesday, March 6.

The US suspects that the rifles and ammunition and pineapple grenades that are now confiscated by the police are the legacy of Heryadi's parents.

"It's possible that it's a weapon from his parents. But the weapons should have been returned to the nagara," he said.

It is known that Tuesday, March 5, the Gegana Polda Metro Jaya team and a number of TNI members searched Heryadi's house. After being examined for several hours, officers found a number of pieces of evidence, namely:

1.1 Defender firearms with several bullets. 2.2 bullets. 2 boxes of 7 mm caliber bullets filled with 41 grains 4.1 boxes of 9 mm caliber bullets filled with 25 pills. 1 box 9 mm caliber bullet filled with 19 rounds.6 rounds.6 rounds of revolver7.1 boxes of 6.35 mm caliber bullets filled with 18 grains 8.1 sarongs green 9.1 holster (guns) green 10.1 book permits for blue weapons11.
