Moments Before Husband of Central Java DPRD Member Shot by Unknown Assailant on Home Terrace
Amat Muzakhim (56), husband of Central Java Provincial Legislative Council (DPRD) member Nur Fatwah, narrowly escaped a shooting by an unknown assailant at his residence in Kedungwuni District, Pekalongan Regency. The incident occurred on Saturday evening, 14 February 2026, whilst the victim was on his home terrace.
Based on circulating CCTV footage, at approximately 21:00 Western Indonesian Time, the victim was sitting on a chair on the terrace with a companion. A mysterious man wearing a black jacket suddenly arrived on a black automatic motorcycle and stopped at the front gate. The perpetrator paused for several moments before turning around and firing a single shot towards the victim.
Fortunately, there were no fatalities in the incident. CCTV recordings showed the perpetrator wearing a black leather jacket, black helmet, and face mask. The assailant had covered the vehicle’s number plate with a white plastic bag.
Pekalongan Police are continuing their investigation into the shooting and conducted a crime scene examination on Sunday. Police recovered a projectile at the scene, which is undergoing laboratory examination to determine its type and calibre.
“This projectile will be subject to further analysis and examination by the Central Java Regional Police Forensic Laboratory Division. We will communicate the results in due course,” said Pekalongan Police Chief Senior Commissioner Rachmad C. Yusuf in Pekalongan on Sunday, 15 February 2026.
Based on preliminary crime scene findings, he said, police confirmed there was only a single shot fired. The projectile struck the upper deck of the victim’s home terrace before ricocheting downwards. Regarding the trajectory, Rachmad explained that based on CCTV footage and the on-site examination, the shot was directed upwards and did not aim directly at the victim.
“The ricocheted projectile was subsequently found on the left side of the victim’s home garage. Therefore, our preliminary conclusion is that this still points towards an act of terror,” he said.
The crime scene examination of the shooting of Amat Muzakhim (56) lasted more than two hours on the victim’s terrace in Kedungwuni Timur Sub-district, Kedungwuni District, Pekalongan Regency.
Rachmad, accompanied by Central Java Regional Police Criminal Investigation Director Senior Commissioner Muhammad Anwar Nasir and Forensic Laboratory Division Head Senior Commissioner Fauzi Hidayat, added that further examination by the Central Java Regional Police Forensic Laboratory Division is still ongoing to determine the type of weapon used by the perpetrator.
“Whether it was a firearm or another type of weapon, we are still awaiting the laboratory examination results from Central Java Regional Police,” he said.
