This is the Face of the Ferry Who Kidnapped and Raped a Female Student in Makassar

Feri Bin Dg Rumpa (33), the perpetrator of the kidnapping and rape of a female student in Makassar City, South Sulawesi, was arrested by police at his hideout in Surabaya City, East Java.

As reported by detikSulsel, the suspect was arrested at Tanjung Perak Port, Surabaya on Saturday (16/5) at around 3:00 PM local time. He was arrested by personnel from the Makassar Police Department assisted by members of the East Java Regional Police’s Cyber Unit, the Surabaya Police Department, and the Tanjung Perak Harbour Police.

“He was arrested yesterday afternoon in Surabaya,” said Head of Sub-Unit 2 of the Criminal Investigation Unit of the Makassar Police Department, Ipda Supriadi Gaffar, to detikSulsel on Sunday (17/5/2026).

Previously, the suspect was known to be travelling by sea to Surabaya. A joint police force then intercepted and arrested the suspect as he disembarked from the ship.

“The suspect will then be taken to the Makassar Police Department for further investigation,” explained Supriadi.

As previously reported by detikSulsel, the suspect raped a female student in a housing complex on Jalan Metro Tanjung Bunga, Barombong Village, Tamalate District, Makassar City.

The case began when the victim was interested in a job advertisement for a nanny or babysitter offered by the suspect through social media.

“According to the victim’s statement, the incident started when she applied for a job through social media,” said Head of the Criminal Investigation Unit of the Tamalate Police Sector, Iptu Abd Latif, to reporters on Wednesday (13/5).

The victim went to the suspect’s house on Friday (8/5) without any suspicion. It turned out that the location was a house rented by the suspect.

“Based on preliminary findings, the suspect is suspected of having rented the house for approximately three days,” said Latif.

Upon arriving at the suspect’s rented house, the victim was asked to stay overnight. At that time, the female student began to be held captive and subjected to sexual violence.

The case was revealed when the homeowner conducted an inspection of the housing complex on Sunday (10/5). The homeowner was surprised to find a woman in the house.

“After arriving at the scene, we found a woman with her hands tied. We then secured the victim,” said Latif.
