Bad luck befell IKK, an Instiper student from Siak. He died on Wednesday (1/5/2024) after a few days earlier fighting with his silat teacher while practicing self-defense. IKK died due to internal injuries.
That night, IKK competed against his teacher, AF (22). Both of them exchanged blows, but within 10 punches and kicks, IKK fell and groaned in pain.
Immediately, AF immediately asked his other five students to close their eyes and pray.
"At that time, I intended for the other five students to pray for their fallen classmate to remain healthy and well," he said.
At that time, the victim was only known to be groaning in pain. He did not faint, did not appear pale, or show any signs of vomiting. AF and the other students then tried to help move the victim to the side, directing him to do abdominal stretching. However, his condition did not improve.
The exercise was stopped, and the victim, accompanied by two of his friends, was taken to Ahmad Dahlan University Hospital (UAD). However, after returning to his boarding house, the victim continued to feel pain. Several of his relatives who live in Yogyakarta then took him to Dr. Sardjito Regional General Hospital.
On Monday (29/4/2024), a doctor reported that the victim suffered bruises in the large and small intestines and needed to undergo surgery. However, after the surgery was performed, the victim could only survive for one day. He then passed away on Wednesday (1/5/2024).

AF admitted that he had visited and checked the condition of the victim when they were in the hospital. He did not have any further information about the victim's condition until he was surprised to receive a message from the victim's sister, through Whatsapp Messenger, on Wednesday (1/5/2024).
"In the message, I was asked to respond to the summons and provide information to the police regarding the victim," he said.
When he came to the Sleman Police, he was shocked because he received information that the victim had died.
However, he admitted that all the movements he did were normal movements during training and did not have fatal consequences.
"If something happens, what usually happens is just a sprain," he said.
Head of the Criminal Investigation Unit of Sleman Regional Police, Adjunct Commissioner Riski Adrian, stated that a strong kick from AF is referred to as a solid kick or a fatal kick.
From the autopsy carried out on the victim's body at Bhayangkara Hospital, it was discovered that IKK had bleeding in the large intestine and small intestine.
AF has now been named a suspect, the perpetrator of torture against the victim. With his actions, he was declared to have violated Article 351 Paragraph 3 of the Criminal Code concerning acts of abuse and Article 359 concerning negligence that causes someone's death. The perpetrator faces a sentence of seven years in prison.
From the examination results, it is known that the death of the victim solely occurred due to the incident that happened during the training. Previously, the victim and the perpetrator did not have any personal issues.
The self-defense training activities carried out by AF can be said to be illegal and completely unlicensed.
The martial arts training, acknowledged by AF, is still in the process of being established as an official extracurricular activity at Instiper. However, the training has already been known and held with permission from the university.
Meanwhile, Deputy Chancellor for Student and Alumni Affairs at Instiper Yogyakarta, Adi Ruswanto, said that the self-defense activities organized by AF were not part of the student activity unit (UKM) which was officially at Instiper.
"The martial arts training activities carried out by AF can be classified as illegal and completely unauthorized," he said. There are 27 student activity units (UKM) at Instiper.
He confirmed this because up to now he has not received any requests or issued permits for the martial arts practice to become an official activity on the campus.
