he South Tangerang Police on Tuesday arrested two men suspected of killing a woman in her home.
The suspects, Ridwan Setiadi, 23, and Ardi Setiadi, 20, were caught by police in Subang, West Java, two days after the alleged murder took place.
The police alleged that the pair had intended to steal the 22-year-old victim’s ATM card.
Ridwan, who was the victim’s boyfriend, reportedly knew the latter’s PIN number and the amount of money she kept in her bank account, said South Tangerang Police chief Adj. Sr. Comr. Fadli Widiyanto.
The two suspects allegedly trapped the victim on Sunday evening at her home in Kademangan sub-district, South Tangerang, Banten, where an argument ensued. Ardi then allegedly strangled the victim, while Ridwan stabbed her.
Fadli said Ridwan was on the police’s most wanted list for an alleged robbery in Cisauk, Tangerang, in 2014.
Both suspects have been charged under Article 340 and 365 of the Criminal Code on premeditated murder and aggravated robbery.
