Golkar Official Nus Kei Stabbed to Death; Police Arrest Two Suspects

The stabbing death of Agrapinus Rumatora, the Chairman of the Golkar Party's Southeast Maluku branch, has sent shockwaves through the region. While police have assured the public that the situation is under control and have swiftly apprehended two suspects, the incident has understandably caused grief and anger within the party and among the victim's supporters.

“

We urge all communities, especially the victim's family and supporters, to restrain themselves and entrust the handling of this case to the Polri. Let there be no retaliatory actions that could worsen the situation. Currently, the situation in Southeast Maluku is safe and conducive.

Golkar, a major political party in Indonesia, has publicly expressed its deep sorrow and condemned the act. The party leadership has called for calm and urged its members not to seek retribution, emphasizing the importance of allowing the police to conduct a thorough investigation. This stance reflects a commitment to upholding the rule of law, even in the face of such a tragic event.

“

We are deeply saddened, grieved, and angry over this incident. We offer our condolences to the family and the extended family of the Maluku DPD, especially Southeast Maluku.

The swift arrest of the suspects is a positive sign, demonstrating the police's commitment to resolving the case. However, the investigation into the motive is crucial. Understanding the 'why' behind this brutal act will be key to preventing future incidents and ensuring justice for the victim and his family. The Indonesian media, including CNN Indonesia, has provided extensive coverage, highlighting the police's efforts and the party's response.

“

The motive is still being investigated by investigators.

From a local perspective in Maluku Tenggara, such incidents can be particularly sensitive, given the region's history. The police's emphasis on maintaining public order and preventing retaliatory actions is therefore paramount. The national leadership's call for trust in law enforcement is a message aimed at preventing the escalation of any potential conflict and reinforcing the state's authority.

The motive is being investigated by the police. Who it was and the motive, I don't know yet.
