Teenager in Jakarta Kills Father andgrandmother, Mother Escapes

A chilling incident unfolded in the Cilandak neighborhood of South Jakarta where a 14-year-old boy, identified by his initials MAS, allegedly stabbed his father and grandmother to death. The only survivor of the attack was his mother, AP (40), who managed to escape by scaling the fence surrounding her home.

Mother Flees the Scene, Seeking Safety Over the Fence

Irwan, the administrator of the local neighborhood association (RW) recounted the horrific scene: “His mother came out of the house and jumped the fence… his son chased her while carrying a knife. His mother jumped because the fence was padlocked. Her son chased her, but maybe because of the blood (splattered there), I think he had already died.”

AP sustained a gaping wound on her shoulder. The sight of blood, scattered near the gate of the family home, painted a gruesome picture of the tragedy that had unfolded within.

The Teenager has been Caught on Camera

After the deadly attack, MAS fled the home, his movements captured on the watchful eye of the residential security cameras. Citing the CCTV footage, Irwan revealed that the teenager was spotted walking in the park before disappearing into the shadows. “The first time I saw it, it was Mr. Tomi, the security guard, who alerted me. CCTV shows him walking in the park. ” He’s just walking’in the open, ” he said.

“The incident is believed to have occurred around 02.00 WIB,” Irwan revealed. He added that the suspect had initially donned two layers of clothing, seemingly in a desperate attempt to conceal the blood stains. “He’s wearing two clothes, apparently to cover up the blood on his pants. But the security jawan giu saw there was blood on his arm. ‘Hey you, stop!,’ he immediately ran about 300 meters,” Irwan explained.

Security Officials Apprehend the Suspect and Secure the Scene

Swift action was taken by security personnel, who apprehend MAS shortly after the horrific incident. They then moved to secure the crime scene, ensuring its preservation for investigation. As news spread, the usually quiet neighborhood became abuzz with activity. “It gets really busy at 5 o’clock here,” said Irwan.
