JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com – Recently, people’s attention has been focused on the action serial killings conducted by Rian (21) in the Puncak area, Bogor Regency, West Java.
After asking some women for a date at the inn, he then killed and dumped the victim’s body by the side of the road.
Rian was successfully arrested by the police on March 10, 2021 in his hideout in Depok, West Java.
The police suspected that Rian would resume his actions if he was not arrested immediately. This can be seen from the pattern of killing two women in just two weeks.
This serial murder incident reopens the memory of the actions taken by Babeh aka Baekuni.
The man who was born in 1961 admitted that he had killed 14 street children, all male. Some of them were mutilated.
Before being killed, the victim is sodomized first.
Babeh has started his “hunt” since 1993. Since then, he has abused dozens of children and then killed them.
Heinous act babeh it was only revealed in 2010 when the remains of a child who was a victim were found near the Banjir Kanal Timur bridge on Jalan Raya Bekasi, Ujung Menteng, Cakung, East Jakarta.
The five headless corpses were later identified as Ardiansyah (9), a street singer.
Babeh was arrested Saturday (9/1/2010) at 03.00 WIB at his rented house in Gang H Dalim RT 6 RW 2, Pulogadung, East Jakarta.
Abused as a child
Note Kompas.com, Little Baekuni’s life was surrounded by insults as “the fool” because she often did not advance to class.
Unable to bear the humiliation, the son of a poor farmer in Magelang, Central Java, left his third grade elementary school and fled to Jakarta.
Baekuni lives homeless in Banteng Square, Central Jakarta, until one day he is forcibly sodomized by a thug.
These bitter memories make Baekuni suffer from pedophilia, or mental disorders in the form of sexual tendencies towards children.
In addition, he was also diagnosed with situational necrophilia.
Necrophilia is a psychiatric disorder characterized by sexual satisfaction that is felt when having sex with a corpse.
Victim of government negligence
Written by Achmad M Akung at Kompas Daily 20 January 2010 issue, a person can become a pedophile homosexual because it is influenced by various factors, such as genetics, experience, and environment.
“In Babeh’s case, it seems that the traumatic experience of being raped by a man in Banteng Field left a deep impression on his soul, damaged his personality structure, and killed his male instincts,” wrote the Diponegoro University Psychology Faculty lecturer.
Initially Babeh was a victim, but later on, it could be due to enjoyment or a factor of revenge, he was actively looking for victims.
Children, especially street children, were chosen as victims of sexual disorders, apart from their appetite for attraction, also because they were easily obtained, manipulated, and the weakest in self-defense, continued Achmad.

“Babeh is actually not just a perpetrator. Babeh is a victim of a civilization defect that we build in our society which tends to move pathologically,” he said.
Achmad in his writing said that what Babeh did would not happen if the government was able to guarantee the welfare and rights of citizens.
“In this context, the state has clearly acted negligently. For so long, we have been a state, in reality, marginalized communities who have to fight for their lives in the roar of street life, continue to grow. An axiom for the neglect and failure of the government to protect the rights of citizens,” he concluded.
