TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The police have shot dead a man who allegedly mugged and tried to sexually assault a Grabcar passenger. The suspect, LI (27) was shot because he resisted arrest.
“During the chase, the suspect tried to hit officers,” West Jakarta Police Chief, Sr. Comr. Hengki Haryadi said on Thursday, April 16.
On April 23, SS (24) placed a Grabcar order to pick her up at home in Tambora, West Jakarta.
Soon after, a Suzuki Wagon with the license number B 2353 BZB showed up, driven by Gugus Gunawan. During the ride, two men suddenly came out of the back seat and tried to rape the victim. But SS was having her period and so the perpetrators changed their minds.

The men then dropped the victim in front of her house.
