The stabbing incident occurred at\nSadsuitubun Airport on Sunday (19\/4) around 12:00 WIT, shortly after\nlanding following a flight from Ambon. Nus Kei was taken to hospital\nafter the stabbing but could not be saved. Police have arrested two\nperpetrators, HR (28) and FU (36), who are suspected of acting out of\nrevenge. However, the police have not yet revealed in detail the root of\nthe issue between the perpetrators and the victim. \u201cThe motive is\nrevenge, based on our preliminary investigation,\u201d said the Chief of\nPolice of Southeast Maluku, Rian Sehendi, on Sunday (19\/4). So, who was\nNus Kei? Besides being a politician, the name Nus Kei has been familiar\nbecause he and his group have frequently clashed with the group of John\nRefra alias John Kei, even though the two are still related by family.\nNus Kei is the uncle of John Kei. John Kei is currently in detention\nafter being sentenced to 15 years in prison in a premeditated murder and\nassault case against Nus Kei\u2019s group in 2020 at the Green Lake City\nhousing complex in Tangerang. That attack killed one person and injured\nseveral others. At that time, according to trial facts, the clash\nbetween the two groups was triggered by the distribution of money from\nthe sale of 31 hectares of land at Haulussy Hospital in Ambon, with a\ntotal value of Rp49.97 billion. From that total, John demanded Rp1\nbillion from Nus Kei, claiming it as a loan. However, Nus Kei refused to\nreturn it and said the money was for operational purposes. Police at the\ntime arrested a total of 39 people, including John Kei. In addition to\nGreen Lake, John Kei\u2019s group was also charged in the trial for another\nattack carried out in the Duri Kosambi area, Cengkareng, West Jakarta.\nShooting incident in Bekasi Nus Kei was involved in another clash at the\nend of October 2023 with John Kei\u2019s group, even though his nephew was\nserving time in Salemba Prison, Central Jakarta. The shooting that\nkilled a man with initials GR (44) occurred at the Titian Complex, Medan\nSatria, Bekasi City, which is the residence and headquarters of John\nKei\u2019s group. Meanwhile, the victim was part of Nus Kei\u2019s group that\nattacked the headquarters along with five of his companions. At that\ntime, Nus Kei\u2019s group of six people came to the location carrying sharp\nweapons. Upon learning of this, John Kei\u2019s group then armed themselves\nwith sharp weapons and firearms. \u201cAs soon as they [Nus Kei\u2019s group]\narrived, the victim got out carrying a machete and was immediately shot\n[by John Kei\u2019s group]. They shot the victim because they claimed they\nwere being attacked, and there were children and wives present,\u201d said\nthe Deputy Head of the Mobile Brigade of the Metro Jaya Police Criminal\nInvestigation Directorate, AKBP Titus Yudho Uly, in November 2023.\nPolice later revealed that John Kei admitted to having communicated by\nphone with Nus Kei from inside the prison before the clash and attack.\nFrom that second case, police have named 11 people as suspects. Police\nhave not revealed the connection Police have not yet disclosed whether\nthe stabbing of Nus Kei is related to the three previous clashes between\nthe two groups. Although based on initial statements, the stabbing was\ntriggered by revenge. The Head of Public Relations of the Maluku\nRegional Police, Kombes Rositah Umasugi, also urged all parties not to\nbe provoked and to leave the handling of the case to the police. \u201cWe\nurge the entire community, especially the victim\u2019s extended family and\nsupporters, to restrain themselves and trust the handling of this case\nto the National Police. Do not carry out any retaliatory actions that\ncould worsen the situation. Currently, the situation in Southeast Maluku\nis safe and conducive,\u201d said Rositah in her statement on Sunday (19\/4).\nSecretary-General of the Golkar Party, Muhammad Sarmuji, hopes that the\npolice will quickly investigate the case thoroughly.
