West Jakarta Police have fatally shot a man suspected of raping and killing his own daughter in Tangerang, Banten.
The suspect, identified as W, had been on the run for more than a week when officers tracked him down on Monday.
“When the police tried to arrest him, [the suspect] fired shots at officers, who shot back and hit the perpetrator twice in the chest,” said West Jakarta Police chief of detectives Adj. Sr. Comr. Andi Adnan as quoted by wartakota.tribunnews.com on Tuesday.
W’s body was taken to the National Police hospital in Kramat Jati, East Jakarta, for an autopsy.
His 13-year-old daughter, AF, was found dead in the attic of their home in West Jakarta on June 3. Her neck and hands had been tied and her body showed signs of sexual assault. (dra)
