Teenager Arrested After Fatally Stabbing Father and Grandmother in Lebak Bulus
Mother Survives Attack; Teenager Apprehended After Fleeing the Scene
In a horrific incident early Saturday morning, a 14-year-old boy identified only by his initials, MAS, fatally stabbed his father and grandmother within their Lebak Bulus home. The chilling incident unfolded at approximately 1:00 AM on November 30th, 2024, in South Jakarta.
When authorities arrived at the scene, they discovered the bodies of APW, 40, and RM, 69, on the ground floor of the residence. Both individuals had reportedly succumbed to multiple stab wounds inflicted by the teen.
Predator Turns on Mother
Police Chief Commissioner Febriman Sarlase confirmed that MAS also attacked his mother, 40-year-old AP. However, Mrs. AP managed to escape by scaling their backyard fence, fleeing the attack despite sustaining serious injuries. A distressing account was provided by neighbor Irwan, who witnessed AP’s desperate escape.
“The mother initially managing to flee, jumped the fence, and climbed over,” Irwan recounted, “The child chased her while armed with a knife, but she may have thrown the weapon moments later, as he thought she was dead due to the blood around.”
A Frantic Chase Leads to Arrest
Following the horrifying attack, MAS fled the scene, leading to a tense neighborhood search. Within moments, security personnel from RW 6 Lebak Bulus launched a motocycle chase whenever they witnessed MAS fleeing towards the main road. Sulaiman, the head of security, stated that they apprehended the teenager before he could escape further.
“One of my members intercepted him on his motorbike, catching him right before reaching a red light,” Sulaiman stated, emphasizing the swiftness of their response.
MAS was immediately returned to the crime scene and members of the Jakarta Metropolitan Police took custody of him. He is currently undergoing questioning and is being held in the Cilandak Police detention center.
Police Chief Commissioner automatica Febriman Sarlase confirmed that the suspect’s mother was transported to Fatmawati Hospital in dire condition. She was immediately admitted for urgent medical attention.
