LAMPUNG - The Lampung Regional Police (Polda) have named five suspects in the burning of the Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park Office (TNBBS) Resor Suoh, West Lampung Regency.

"Yes, the ranks of the West Lampung Police have named five people as suspects in the case of burning the TNBBS PPA office," said Head of Public Relations of the Lampung Police, Kombes Umi Fadillah Astutik, at the Lampung Police Headquarters, Friday, March 22, as reported by Antara.

He said the determination of the five suspects by the police had gone through a series of investigations and examinations at the West Lampung Police Headquarters.

"The determination of the five suspects was carried out on Saturday (March 16) after on Friday (March 15) five people with the initials AF, S, T, B and M were taken to the Police Headquarters for examination," he said.

Umi said, from the confessions of the suspects, the act was made by a mistake after hearing that a resident had been attacked again and became a victim of a Sumatran tiger.

"To account for their actions, the suspects were charged with Article 187 or Article 406 of the Criminal Code, which carries a 12-year prison sentence," he said.

It is known that Monday, March 11, hundreds of residents vandalized and burned the TNBBS Resort Suoh Nature Protection and Conservation Office (PPA). The arson was carried out after a resident was again attacked by a Sumatran tiger.

The burning of this office is a form of anger from residents because until the incident occurred, the Sumatran tiger had killed two residents and the animal had not been caught.
