Three other perpetrators are still wanted. Information gathered by investigators from other suspects revealed that Andi is 165 centimeters tall, has a small frame, straight hair, and dark skin.

The last residence of the three fugitives was said to be Banjarwangunan Village.

"We and the police immediately checked those three names on the list of residents. Pegi's name was not there. Andi had 15 people with the same name. Dani had nine names," said the Head of Banjarwangunan Village, Sulaeman, on Saturday (18/5/2024).

However, when the village agency checked the house of the residents named Andi and Dani, they did not find any matching identity with the fugitive listed in the DPO.

"For example, their ages are not the same and they have different characteristics. So, until now, the three wanted DPOs mentioned are not in our village," he said.

A number of residents prayed at Vina's grave at the Kesinangan Public Cemetery in Cirebon Regency, West Java, on Tuesday (5/14/2024). Vina was a student who became a victim of murder and rape in 2016.

Sulaeman revealed that the village authorities faced obstacles due to the lack of data from the police regarding the three fugitives. For example, they do not know the complete photos and addresses of the fugitives. Meanwhile, the residents of Banjarwangunan amount to 11,000 people, spread across 46 RT, 9 RW, and 13 housing complexes.

We have checked several boarding houses. However, the village officers are facing difficulties because many residents have temporary residency. With the information that there is a fugitive who is on the wanted list in Banjarwangunan, local residents become worried.

"Hopefully, the DPO (fugitive) is not here," he said.

Marliyana (33), Vina's older sister, is surprised by the fact that the three perpetrators have not been revealed yet. According to her, several of the perpetrators, including Pegi who is still at large, knew the victim and other killers.

"Then, if the perpetrator doesn't know (the fugitive), where can those names be found? Hopefully he will be caught soon," he said.

Previously, the Head of Public Relations of the West Java Regional Police, Commissioner Jules Abast, stated that the police are still pursuing the three perpetrators. However, they are hindered by the fact that the real identities of the perpetrators are not known. Several witnesses, including eight other perpetrators, are said to not know the identities of the three perpetrators.

The police are still trying to find out the true identities of the three fugitives who have entered the wanted list. To this day, they continue to search for the whereabouts of the perpetrators in schools, homes, and among their relatives.

"We ask the fugitive perpetrators to immediately surrender," said Jules.
