The kidnapping and murder of Mohamad Ilham Pradipta (37), the Head of a Branch Office (KCP) of a state-owned bank (Bank BUMN) in Cempaka Putih, Central Jakarta, has drawn public attention in Indonesia. The incident began with his abduction in the parking lot of Lotte Mart Pasar Rebo, East Jakarta. Police investigations revealed that four suspects, all working as debt collectors, confessed to the kidnapping. The victim was found dead in Bekasi, West Java, with his hands tied and face taped, suffering fatal injuries to the neck and chest as confirmed by autopsy results from the Police Hospital (RS Polri) Kramat Jati. Authorities have arrested a total of eight individuals, including executors and intellectual actors behind the crime. Three main suspects were apprehended in Solo on August 23, 2025, by a joint task force from Polda Metro Jaya, Polrestabes Semarang, and Polres Demak. The suspects reportedly occupied a house in Central Jakarta under orders from a figure in Surabaya described as their boss. One suspect’s wife received Rp 8 million from her husband before his arrest. Police continue to investigate the motive, which remains unclear, and are pursuing the mastermind behind the crime. The victim’s family has called for a thorough investigation and strict punishment for the perpetrators.
