The man with the initials R (48) in Cengkareng, West Jakarta has the heart pouring hard water to his wife, SS (31), and son, KM (1), until both died. This action turned out to be triggered by the perpetrator’s jealousy.
As is known, the victim’s neighbor recounted the terrifying moments immediately following the acid attack. The victim’s eyes are said to be swollen.
“It’s ugly, the eyes are swollen, you can’t see it, the lips are cooked, as they say, like cooked chicken, the meat is no longer red, it’s white. So I took it right away, I brought it (all ‘hospital),” said the victim’s neighbor, Yayah (50), in West Jakarta on Tuesday (12/27/2022).
“The stench of hard water is pungent. That hurt me too yes, swelling (hands and stomach). Especially if the victim is sprinkled,” she added.
She said the SS victim was wet and her body turned red when she called for help. “(Her body) is red, her clothes are wet with chemical water, like like people who bathed together (with their children). It just seems like her mother can’t drink anymore, she throws up,” Yayah said.
