Voice Message Before Woodyrman's Fatal Attack on Bruneian National

Social media influencer Mohamad Irman Ali (33), known as Woodyrman, has been named a suspect in the assault case that resulted in the death of Brunei national MHF (30) in Blok M, South Jakarta. A voice message from the victim to Woodyrman prior to the incident has come to light.

Police spokesperson for the Jakarta Metropolitan Police, Commissioner Budi Hermanto, stated that the incident began with a misunderstanding between Woodyrman and a witness. The victim attempted to defend the witness, leading to an argument between the victim and the suspect.

“Peristiwa ini berawal dari kesalahpahaman antara tersangka dengan salah satu saksi. Korban kemudian bermaksud membela saksi tersebut, sehingga terjadi adu mulut antara korban dan tersangka,” ujar Kombes Budi Hermanto saat dihubungi wartawan, Kamis (28/5).

Police confirmed the suspect and victim knew each other. The victim had sent a voice note challenging Woodyrman to fight. When the two met at the scene, the situation escalated into a physical altercation.

“Sebelum kejadian, korban juga sempat mengirimkan pesan suara atau voice note yang bernada tantangan berkelahi. Saat korban dan tersangka bertemu di lokasi kejadian, situasi menjadi semakin konfrontatif,” jelasnya.

Under the Influence of Alcohol

Hermanto explained that Woodyrman was under the influence of alcohol during the assault. He struck the victim once with his right hand, which was holding a paper bag containing a drink bottle, aimed at the head.

“Dari hasil pendalaman, tersangka saat itu diduga berada dalam pengaruh alkohol. Dalam kondisi emosi, tersangka kemudian melakukan pemukulan satu kali ke arah kepala korban menggunakan tangan kanan yang saat itu memegang paper bag berisi botol minuman,” ucapnya.

As a result of the blow, the victim fell at the scene. He received medical treatment for 10 days before being pronounced dead.

He has been charged and is currently detained at the Jakarta Metropolitan Police detention facility.
