Bogor Man Beats Wife to Death Over Frequent Use of Home for Sex Work
BOGOR — Police have unraveled the motive behind a man’s brutal attack on his wife in Cilebut Barat, Sukaraja, Bogor, Jawa Barat. The suspect, SN (38), allegedly became enraged when his wife, NS (29), criticized him for using their home as a transit point for sex work, conducted through the MiChat app.
Kasat Reskrim Polres Bogor, AKP Teguh Kumara, confirmed on Friday (10/1/2025) that the couple was arguing when the husband snapped and resorted to violence. "The husband took a golok (machete) from their kitchen and attacked his wife who was seated in the kitchen," Kumara said.
The woman sustained severe injuries, including lacerations on her hands, face, and the back of her head. She was subsequently rushed to the hospital but did not survive her injuries.
The husband, later apprehended by police, put up a fight and screamed profanities upon arrest. "He was still being unruly, screaming and shouting, so we needed someone to assist us," said Kanit PPA Polres Bogor Ipda Ndaru.
Investigations are ongoing to determine the root cause of the argument, though police suggest it may have stemmed from the husband’s resentment towards his wife’s reproach over the frequent sex work activities in their home.
