A large suitcase is one of the pieces of evidence in the murder case of Rini Mariany (50), Friday (3/5/2024). It was in this suitcase that Rini's body was hidden. The reason the perpetrator, Ahmad Arif Ridwan Nuwloh (29), killed his girlfriend Rini was because he was offended by the victim's words.

Previous case

The previous case of murder of a woman and her body thrown in a suitcase occurred in Bandung City, West Java. Rini Mariany (50), a resident of Bandung, died at the hands of her secret lover, Ahmad Arif Ridwan Nuwloh (29). The victim's body was put in a suitcase and dumped in Bekasi.

As reported by Kompas.id (4/5/2024), the relationship between the two has been established for at least a year since Ridwan, who works as an auditor at the headquarters, often came to Rini's office in Bandung to conduct audits. Rini, who works as a company cashier, often met with him due to her job.

The seed of love between the two also grew lush. From initially only a professional relationship as colleagues, it turned into a romantic one.

They could only meet when Ahmad conducted an audit at Rini's company. The rare meeting was used to strengthen their love, including engaging in intimate relations in a hotel. This intimate relationship first occurred in December 2023.

Four months later, Ahmad returned to audit the company where Rini worked on Wednesday (24/4/2024). Rini asked Ahmad to accompany her in depositing the company's money at the bank. This task is indeed a routine agenda that Rini performs during her working hours.

Rini also requested permission from her superiors not to return to the office after depositing money at the bank. She explained that she wanted to visit her brother who was being treated at Dokter Hasan Sadikin Hospital in Bandung due to tuberculosis.

However, before depositing the money into the bank, they used their free time to make out at a hotel in Bandung. While carrying Rp. 43 million, the two of them went to the hotel using Rini's motorbike.

The movement of Rini and Ahmad from the office to the hotel, and even to the room, was clearly monitored by surveillance cameras (CCTV). Rini and Ahmad were seen entering the hotel room at 09.51 am Western Indonesia Time.

Rini's body was kept in a suitcase lying face down. With the help of his younger brother, Aditya Taufiqurrahman (21), Ahmad threw the suitcase on Kalimalang Inspection Road, West Cikarang District, Bekasi.
