AMBI: A member of Merangin Police's Mobile Brigade (Brimob) in Jambi was found dead early on Friday at his house after apparently hanging himself, the second police suicide in Jambi and the third nationwide since the beginning of the year.
Merangin Police chief Adj. Sr. Comr. Munggaran Kartayuga said the body of the officer, identified as Brig. Bobby Hermanto of Nalo Tantan district, had been found by his wife hanging from a staircase in his home at 4 a.m. local time.
Preliminary investigations suggested Bobby had committed suicide, Munggaran said. 'We are still investigating the motivation behind the incident,' he added.
On Feb. 4, an officer from East Tanjung Jabung Police in Jambi hanged himself in the parking lot of the police station compound, while on Jan. 21, Brig. Irian Mulyono, 30, died after shooting himself at his house in Keerom, Papua. The police are still investigating the two previous cases.
