A man with the initials MAH, who was found injured on Jalan Pati,\nMenteng, Central Jakarta, was not the victim of a robbery. Police have\nrevealed that the incident was an attempted murder.<\/p>\n
\"So, the alleged theft, the stolen goods, and the entire robbery\nevent are suspected to be fake. It was merely an alibi to obscure the\nactual incident,\" said Central Jakarta Metro Police Criminal\nInvestigation Unit Head AKBP Roby Heri Saputra on Friday\n(19\/6\/2026).<\/p>\n
The perpetrator is a colleague of the victim. Initially, a witness\nidentified as T reported that a robbery had occurred at the house.<\/p>\n
\"The report was of a violent theft or robbery, where according to\nwitness statements when Polsek officers arrived at the scene, there was\nan injured victim and a female witness at the crime scene who explained\nthat a robbery had been committed by two people,\" he stated.<\/p>\n
T initially explained to investigators that the two individuals\nentered through the upper part of the house. The two perpetrators then\ngot into an argument with MHA, prompting T to go upstairs carrying a\nstun gun.<\/p>\n
\"Upon reaching the upper floor, it turned out the two people had\nalready restrained MHA. To secure MHA\u2019s release, T, who had come up from\ndownstairs, asked them not to harm him and offered valuables, namely 200\ngrams of gold bullion and approximately 300 grams of other gold\njewellery,\" he detailed.<\/p>\n
According to the initial statement, after the gold was handed over,\nthe two perpetrators injured MHA. T then contacted a housemate to return\nhome.<\/p>\n
\"That was the initial statement we received from the witness at the\nlocation. Subsequently, the Menteng Sector Police and the Central\nJakarta Metro Police, led by the Mobile Investigation Unit and the State\nSecurity Unit, backed up by the Polda Metro Jaya General Criminal\nInvestigation Directorate, traced the facts, witness statements, and\nevidence processed through scientific investigation,\" he explained.<\/p>\n
The investigation revealed inconsistencies between the witness\u2019s\nstatements and the physical evidence. It was discovered that T\u2019s account\nwas allegedly false.<\/p>\n
\"We then found that there were no two people entering the house;\nrather, the assault on MHA was actually carried out by T herself,\" he\nstated.<\/p>\n
The robbery report had been filed by T, claiming a loss of 500 grams\nof gold stolen by the perpetrators. This report was later determined to\nbe false.<\/p>\n
\"Following this, the victim\u2019s sibling filed a police report with the\nMetro Police against T under articles concerning grievous bodily harm\nand\/or attempted murder with premeditation,\" he concluded.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/not-a-robbery-man-assaulted-in-menteng-was-victim-of-attempted-murder-1781870041", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
