Police in Depok, West Java, have arrested two suspects involved in the brutal stabbing of a teenager identified as FK. The violent attack occurred on Jalan Telaga, Pekayon, in the Pasar Rebo area of East Jakarta.
The swift police response led to the capture of the two perpetrators, both 18 years old, within 24 hours of the incident. Pasar Rebo Police Chief AKP I Wayan Wijaya confirmed the arrests on Friday, May 22, identifying the suspects by their initials, NE and DS.
The investigation was launched on Tuesday, May 19, following an urgent report from a local hospital. Medical staff alerted authorities after the victim was admitted with a sickle (celurit) still embedded in his head. This shocking detail prompted police to conduct an intensive investigation, eventually identifying the attackers and locating them at their respective homes in Depok.
The victim sustained severe head injuries from the attack, necessitating emergency surgery at the Kramat Jati Police Hospital. During the operation, investigators recovered several pieces of evidence, including the sickle used in the assault, a black sweater, clothing, and the official medical report documenting the victim’s wounds.
The two suspects now face serious legal consequences. They have been charged under Article 466 of the Criminal Code regarding aggravated assault, which carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison.
In light of this incident, Chief Wayan urged the public to remain vigilant and utilize local law enforcement resources. He emphasized that citizens should immediately contact the toll-free emergency hotline at 110 if they require police assistance. “The 110 service is free of charge, and we are committed to following up on every report submitted by the public,” Wayan stated.
