TLDR

  • Police in Maluku Tenggara, Indonesia, have identified revenge as the motive behind the fatal stabbing of local Golkar party official Agrapinus Rumatora, also known as Nus Kei.
  • The two suspects, identified as HR (28) and FU (36), were apprehended within two hours of the incident, with family cooperation aiding their capture.
  • The conflict between the victim and suspects reportedly originated from an earlier dispute in Jakarta, and the stabbing occurred upon the victim's arrival at Karel Sadsuitubun Airport.

The swift apprehension of the suspects in the tragic stabbing of Agrapinus Rumatora, a prominent Golkar party official in Maluku Tenggara, underscores the effectiveness of our local law enforcement. While the motive has been identified as a long-standing grudge stemming from a past conflict in Jakarta, the speed at which the perpetrators were brought to justice is commendable.

The motive is revenge. Based on our preliminary investigation, that is the motive.

This incident, occurring at the Karel Sadsuitubun Airport, serves as a grim reminder that disputes can escalate with devastating consequences. The police's successful operation, aided by the cooperation of the victim's family, highlights the importance of community support in maintaining law and order. Capturing the suspects within two hours of the crime demonstrates a commitment to ensuring accountability and preventing further harm.

The previous issue between the perpetrator and the victim occurred in Jakarta.

While the details of the original conflict in Jakarta remain under investigation, the focus now shifts to the judicial process. We trust that the legal system will handle this case with fairness and diligence, ensuring that justice is served. The incident, though unfortunate, reinforces the resolve of our authorities to tackle crime and maintain peace within our communities.

Alhamdulillah, we managed to arrest the perpetrators in less than two hours after the incident. Thanks to the cooperation of the family, both perpetrators were arrested.
