Student Who Attacked Female Student at UIN Suska Riau Arrested, Faces 12 Years in Prison
POLICE have arrested a student who attacked a female student at the Sultan Syarif Kasim II Islamic University (UIN) in Pekanbaru, Riau Province, on Thursday (February 26). The female student was preparing for her thesis proposal seminar on campus.
The incident, which occurred around 8:30 a.m., involved the suspect, identified as R (21), and the victim, Faradhila Ayu Pramesi (23). As a result of the sudden attack with a sharp weapon, Faradhila suffered serious injuries to her head and arm.
The Head of Public Relations of the Riau Police, Commissioner Zahwani Pandra Arsyad, stated that the police had acted quickly: “The suspect has been secured at the Binawidya Police Station to undergo further legal proceedings. Investigators have also conducted a crime scene investigation to collect evidence professionally,” said Zahwani, as quoted by Antara on Thursday (February 26).
Unlike a common assault case, investigators are now applying a heavier charge against suspect R. Referring to the latest regulations, the perpetrator faces a long prison sentence.
“In this case, investigators are applying Law Number 1 of 2023 concerning the Criminal Code, Article 469, with a maximum penalty of 12 years in prison,” said Zahwani.
The victim is currently receiving intensive medical treatment. After being rushed to the Bhayangkara Hospital, Faradhila is scheduled to be referred to Arifin Achmad Hospital for further comprehensive treatment.
Regarding the motive, the Head of the Criminal Investigation Unit of the Pekanbaru Police, AKP Anggi Rian Diansyah, revealed that the preliminary suspicion points to a personal matter. The police have also confiscated a machete and an axe as evidence.
“It is suspected that it was triggered by a personal matter related to a romantic relationship, but we are still investigating the motive and chronology,” said AKP Anggi. (Ant/P-4)
