Evidence Displayed in Ermanto Usman Murder Case in Bekasi

Jakarta Metro Police presented evidence from two murder cases in Depok and Bekasi on Wednesday, 11 March 2026.

The two victims in these cases were Ermanto Usman, 65, a retired employee of PT Jakarta International Container Terminal (JICT). He was murdered by a suspect with the initials S at his home in Pondok Gede, Bekasi, on Monday, 2 March 2026.

The other victim, DH, 55, was killed by her common-law husband, ARH, 44, following a verbal dispute in Limo, Depok in October 2025. His body was only discovered five months later by his child on Saturday, 7 March 2026.

Among the evidence displayed were a crowbar used by suspect S to kill Ermanto, and rope and cable used by ARH to kill DH. Other evidence items on display included cash, scissors, a mobile phone, and a laptop allegedly taken from Ermanto’s home by S.

On a separate table to the right were displayed rope, a corroded padlock, a photograph of the victim’s clothing which was no longer intact, and three carpets allegedly used to cover the victim’s body.

Today, police will release information regarding the two murder cases being handled by the Robbery and Violent Crime Unit and Mobile Brigade of the Criminal Investigation Directorate of Jakarta Metro Police.

Previously, Head of the Robbery and Violent Crime Unit, AKBP Abdul Rahim, revealed that the suspect in Ermanto’s murder had already been arrested.
