West Denpasar Police have been reconstructing the murder of a man stabbed last month in Padangsambian Kelod Village.
East Java man MH, 23, was arrested for the killing of IH, 34, within just 24 hours of the stabbing. MH was arrested at a food stall in Banyuwangi, East Java—he had apparently fled Bali after the crime and was en route to his hometown, Bondowoso.
Police allege that MH attacked the man because he felt harassed after IH groped him.
“There are 18 scenes played by the suspect. 12 of which involve the killing at the scene. The suspect drew the knife after the victim attempted to open his pants,” West Denpasar Police’s Criminal Investigation Unit Insp. Aan Saputra said on Monday, as quoted by Tribun Bali.
