Jakarta – A couple, wife JM (40) and husband PJ (40), became victims of abuse on Jalan Camar Elok, Kapuk Muara Village, Penjaringan District, North Jakarta. The perpetrators were two men who work as builders, with the initials MM (50) and WM (37). “As a result, both of them were arrested on the same day at around 20:00 WIB near the place of the incident after conducting a case investigation,” Penjaringan Metropolitan Police Chief AKBP Agus Ady Wijaya said as reported by Antara, Wednesday (15/10/2025). The incident took place on Monday (6/10) around 16.30 WIB. Victim JM suffered an open wound on the front of his head and received seven stitches, while victim PJ suffered brain and spinal bleeding and was rushed to Atma Jaya Hospital for medical treatment. Scroll TO CONTINUE “These two offenders were charged under section 170 of the Penal Code for assault with a threat of imprisonment of six years and/or 351 of the Penal Code for assault with a threat of imprisonment of two years and eight months,” he said. The beatings started when the victims JM and PJ came to a house of PJ’s father. They tried to convey their aspirations to their father by painting the walls and fences of the house with paint. “The child’s motive was a form of protest against the family problems occurring and vandalism at his father’s house with his girlfriend,” he said. The two perpetrators, who are also builders, were asked by the house owner, namely PJ’s father, to cover the writing with paint. However, when the offender and the victim met at the location, an argument broke out. They blocked each other and pushed each other resulting in victim PJ falling into a ditch. Victim JM then tried to pull PJ out of the ditch, but suddenly the offender pushed him so that JM also fell into the ditch. This caused victim JM’s head to hit the wall resulting in an open wound on his forehead and paint on his face. Officers obtained evidence in the form of paint tools, video footage of the incident from surveillance cameras and post-mortem examinations. “Currently, the perpetrator is still with the Penjaringan Metro Police to carry out the investigation process,” he added.
