“He stated he was under the influence of alcoholic beverages,” said Sub-director of the Special Operations Unit of the Jakarta Regional Police Criminal Investigation Department, Ipda Breggy Yesaya Immanuel, in a video statement to reporters on Wednesday (27 May 2026).
During the incident, after a verbal altercation with the victim, the suspect swung a paper bag containing a glass bottle at the victim’s head.
Despite intensive treatment for 10 days, MHF could not be saved and was declared dead on Saturday (16 May 2026).
“The victim fell into a coma, and his condition deteriorated, leading to his death on 16 May,” Breggy added.
Irman was arrested on Monday (25 May 2026) in Kebayoran Lama, South Jakarta, and charged with assault resulting in death.
He faces charges under Article 466(3) and Article 468(2) of the Indonesian Criminal Code for assault causing death and severe assault resulting in death, with a maximum penalty of 15 years imprisonment.
Currently, Irman is undergoing interrogation. Police are coordinating with South Jakarta Immigration Office and Interpol due to both parties being foreign nationals.
The incident was captured by CCTV at a mini-market opposite the hotel where the victim was staying. A video uploaded by @viraljakartaselatan on Instagram shows the victim sitting on a small chair.
The suspect, dressed in black, approached the victim, and a woman was seen intervening between them.
