“Everything we do is in accordance with applicable regulations. There are no exceptions,” said Kombes Pol Iman.

Previously, Kapolres Metro of the East Jakarta, Kombes Pol Alfian Nurrizal also provided a statement. According to him, FD was cruel enough to kill the victim because the victim had asked him to separate, but he refused.

Suspect Divorced Out of Jealousy

Dian Puspitasari, the older sister of the victim, Dwintha Anggary.

The victim’s older sister, Dian Puspitasari (40), spoke about her sister Dwintha’s status in the eyes of her family. According to her, her sister was very kind, obedient, and willing to give in. The victim was also known to be very affectionate with the children, especially her nieces and nephews.

“Sometimes when we scolded or teased her, she would just grin; she was always smiling,” Dian said at the scene, Sunday, March 22, 2026.

She revealed that before the incident, her sister Dwintha had been divorced by FD in early February 2026. After that, the victim decided to rent her own house.

However, FD actually rented a place near the victim’s rental. “He (the perpetrator) was a bit jealous. Anggi—the victim’s nickname—wasn’t allowed to communicate with anyone else, as if he were being restrained,” she explained.

Dian also said, that during her sister’s marriage, she had never directly heard of any domestic violence (KDRT). However, there had been a change in their relationship, especially after the victim started working at the Nutrition Fulfillment Service Unit (SPPG).

This change, Dian continued, was related to the victim’s increased activity and social relationships outside the home.

“Since my sister started working, she’s had more friends, more activities outside, and more interactions. Maybe he (the perpetrator) was jealous,” she said.

According to her, the last time she communicated with the victim was on Thursday night around 9:30 pm WIB via text message.

“Well, we didn’t see each other on Friday, because we were all busy with our own Eid celebrations,” she added.

The following day, Dian admitted to passing by the victim’s house. But she didn’t suspect anything because the house seemed closed.

However, she suspected that the perpetrator had been monitoring the victim frequently before the incident.

“I remember, the last time i was going to the market was on Thursday, and i ran into my relative (Dwintha). It turned out he (the perpetrator) was behind me,” Dian concluded.

The body of the victim, Dwintha Anggary, was taken to the Kramat Jati Polri Hospital for an autopsy after being discovered. It was then buried at the Pondok Ranggon Public Cemetery. (Bembo)
