Banyuasin, KOTABARI.COM – A mysterious incident unfolded in Sungai Pinang Village, Banyuasin, on Friday (8/11/2023) afternoon when a man with a mental disorder (ODGJ) was discovered lying unconscious on an open field on South Ring Road. The man was found by a local resident who was working near the location.
The male individual, whose identity has not yet been established, was found in an unconscious state, his face covered in wounds and bruises. Despite being immobile, he was still breathing. Slamet Riyadi, the local resident who first found the man, described his condition as deeply concerning.
“I found the victim lying there, injured and unconscious, but still breathing,” said Slamet.
Information from local residents revealed that before being found, a red-plated pickup truck was believed to be involved in the incident. A white pickup truck with a red license plate was seen entering the landfill site, and a few minutes later, it hastily exited the location. Slamet, who attempted to approach the vehicle, noted that it sped away from the scene.
The ODGJ victim was found wearing black shorts and had a long tattoo on his right arm. Although there is no documented evidence of the vehicle that transported the victim, local residents and the authorities reported the incident. The victim was then transported to Bunda Jakabaring Hospital for medical treatment.
Unfortunately, the victim’s condition deteriorated, and he was pronounced dead on the morning of August 12, 2023. The police conducted a crime scene investigation and gathered evidence for further investigation. They are also seeking CCTV footage around the area to identify the red-plated vehicle believed to be involved in the case.
Head of Rambutan Police Sector, Iptu Marwan, revealed that the investigation would continue to uncover further facts about the incident. “We will investigate the vehicle with the red license plate and search for other evidence that can help reveal the truth behind this incident,” Marwan said.
This case has raised concerns among the local community due to the mysterious details surrounding the death of the ODGJ man and the involvement of an unidentified red-plated vehicle.
