This conclusion will be presented to the Polri Code of Ethics Commission hearing scheduled for Wednesday, December 17, 2025.

Brigjen Pol Trunoyudo further stated, that the Polri acted swiftly upon receiving the first report. Initial steps taken included crime scene investigation, witness examination, victim evacuation, and location security.

“The Polri have taken intensive steps over a 24-hour period. We conducted crime scene investigation, questioned 12 witnesses, secured evidence, and provided assistance to the victim’s family,” explained Brigjen Pol Trunoyudo.

 In this case, two victims, Miklon Edisafat Tanone (41) and Novergo Aryanto Tanu (32), were pronounced dead as a result of the assault that occurred on Thursday afternoon, December 11, 2025. One victim died at the scene, while the other died after receiving treatment at Budi Asih Hospital.

The incident itself began on Thursday at 3:45 PM WIB. At that time, the Pancoran Polsek received a report via 110 regarding the alleged assault of two men in the Kalibata Heroes Cemetery parking area. When officers arrived at 4:00 PM WIB, both victims were found with serious injuries.

In addition to the assault, several public facilities, including kiosks and vehicles near the scene, were also burned. This case was then officially reported to the Polda Metro Jaya at 8:11 PM WIB.

Meanwhile, regarding the initial sequence of events when two victims, who were also debt collectors, stopped a vehicle used by police officers, Brigjen Pol Trunoyudo replied that the handling process is still awaiting an official report.

“We will follow up on the report professionally. The report has not yet been received, and we will provide official updates once it is received,” he said.

Nevertheless, he reiterated that the investigation of this case remains professional, transparent, and impartial, even though the suspects are police officers.

“The Polri don’t tolerate unlawful acts. We reiterate this. Law enforcement is carried out objectively, professionally, and without favoritism,” Brigjen Pol Trunoyudo explained.

“Every member involved must be held accountable for their actions, both criminal and ethical,” he added. (Bembo)
