Lubuklinggau, KOTABARI.COM – The residents of Lubuklinggau have been left in shock following the discovery of the lifeless body of a 24-year-old young man named Frengki Saputra. This tragic incident has shaken the peace of this small town as Frengki’s body was found in a horrifying state in his rented room.
AKP Roby Sugara, the Chief of Criminal Investigation at Lubuklinggau Police Station, has stated that Frengki is suspected to have fallen victim to a brutal murder. His decaying corpse was discovered on Friday, September 8, 2023, at Jalan Sejahtera RT 02, Kelurahan Taba Jemekeh, Kecamatan Lubuklinggau Timur I.
The incident came to light when a witness named Nia Kurniayati Rahayu (33), who had just returned from Palembang, arrived at Frengki’s lodging. However, she found the door to his room tightly locked and received no response despite knocking repeatedly.
Growing suspicious, Nia sought assistance from her neighbors to unlock the door. To their horror, they discovered Frengki’s lifeless body inside his room.
Frengki, who had previously worked with Nia in selling street food known as “seblak,” is believed to have been the victim of a gruesome murder. A preliminary on-site investigation revealed that some of the victim’s possessions, including a motorcycle and approximately Rp 600,000 in cash, were missing.
In addition to the stolen items, stab wounds found on Frengki’s neck and chest strongly support the suspicion of a murder. Chief Roby Sugara revealed that there is a strong suspicion that the perpetrator is someone known to the victim and had been residing in the same house.
As Frengki lived with Nia and another individual identified as D, who is his own cousin’s sibling, the police are currently pursuing D as the primary suspect. However, the true motive behind this murder remains a mystery.
“After capturing the suspect, we will be able to determine the actual motive,” stated Roby Sugara. Authorities promise to continue their in-depth investigation to uncover the truth behind this gruesome murder that has shaken the town of Lubuklinggau.
This incident has instilled fear and anxiety among the local residents, who now live in uncertainty and confusion about what might have triggered this heinous act. The local community hopes for a swift apprehension of the perpetrator and justice for the victim and his family.
