The police are currently engaged in an ongoing search operation for the remains of seven human baby skeletons found buried at a former pond site in Central Java, Indonesia. This distressing revelation was reported by Liputan 6 news yesterday, shedding light on a deeply disturbing case.
The birth of these seven babies was the tragic outcome of an incestuous relationship between a 57-year-old man, identified as R, and his own biological daughter. Agus Supriadi Siswanto, the Chief of Banyumas Police, stated, "Yesterday, we officially named R, a resident of Tanjung Village, as the primary suspect." The investigation suggests that this case may involve more than just a single individual.
The police have gathered substantial evidence linking R to the crimes in question, cementing his status as the primary suspect. The case came to light when two cleaning workers, while leveling the ground on June 15th, stumbled upon what appeared to be human bones at the location.
R stands accused of both killing and burying the infants, who were the result of his incestuous relationship with his 25-year-old biological daughter, referred to as E. These horrific acts are said to have been ongoing since 2012, starting with the birth of the first baby in 2013 and tragically continuing until the seventh baby in 2021.
Agus revealed, "Based on the suspect's confession, there are still three infant bodies that he murdered and buried at the site, in addition to the four baby skeletons discovered between June 15th and 21st." Despite the efforts of the Banyumas Police Crime Investigation Unit, who excavated the former pond area yesterday, the search has yet to uncover the skeletons of the remaining three infants.
In a distressing twist to this already harrowing tale, R's third wife, identified as S, is reported to have aided E in giving birth to these children. Allegedly, R threatened S with her life should she ever disclose the truth.
The investigation into this shocking case is ongoing, and authorities are committed to uncovering the full extent of these tragic events. As the search for justice continues, it serves as a somber reminder of the importance of protecting the most vulnerable members of society and addressing issues that plague communities in order to prevent such horrors from occurring again in the future.
