Prada Lucky Chepril Saputra Namo, a 23-year-old soldier from the Territorial Development Battalion 834/Wakanga Mere in Nagekeo, East Nusa Tenggara (NTT), Indonesia, died on August 6, 2025, at RSUD Aeramo hospital. Prior to his death, he reported being beaten by a senior soldier at the barracks. The Kodam IX/Udayana military command has confirmed that four individuals suspected of involvement in the incident have been detained for questioning. Kodam IX/Udayana has pledged to take firm action against those found responsible for the alleged assault leading to Prada Lucky’s death. The case has attracted attention from Indonesia's House of Representatives Commission I, which has called for a thorough investigation. The victim's father, Sergeant Major Christian Namo, has publicly demanded justice and criticized the circumstances surrounding his son's death. Additionally, there were delays in conducting an autopsy at the Wira Sakti Military Hospital in Kupang due to a shortage of forensic doctors. Meanwhile, unrelated incidents reported include the death of a junior high school student in Simalungun, Indonesia, whose autopsy showed no signs of violence, and a South African court ruling permitting the repatriation of former Zambian President Edgar Lungu's body for a state funeral in Zambia despite the family's wishes for a private burial.
