THE ANATOMY OF A BADGE-WEARING PREDATOR

I. PROLOGUE: THE DISCOVERY AT THE CANAL

The morning of December 16, 2025, began with a mundane act that would unravel a high-profile conspiracy. A local farmer named Rohim, tending to his fields in a rural part of Java, Indonesia, stopped by a bridge to relieve himself. Looking down into the canal, he spotted a figure. It was a young woman, perfectly still, wearing a bright pink motorcycle helmet.

To the naked eye, it looked like a tragic traffic accident—a rider who had plunged over the side. However, when the Indonesian National Police arrived, the forensic anomalies began to mount immediately. There was no motorcycle. There were no skid marks. And the woman, identified through fingerprints as Faradila Amalia, had bruises on her neck that no fall could explain. This was the start of an investigation that would lead directly into the heart of the police force itself.

II. THE VICTIM: FARADILA AMALIA

Faradila Amalia (21) was the “miracle child” of Haji Ramlan, a highly successful businessman who owned a sprawling network of grocery stores, hardware shops, and a travel agency. Amalia was the youngest of three, born when her parents, Haji and City, thought their child-rearing days were over.

The Law Student: Amalia was not just a wealthy “Daddy’s girl.” She was a focused law student with dreams of becoming a prosecutor or lawyer.

The Gatekeeper: She worked as an assistant accountant for her father’s company. In this role, she held the keys to the family’s financial records—a position that would eventually place a target on her back.

The Truth-Teller: Known for being blunt and courageous, Amalia was a popular TikToker with 12,000 followers, often sharing snippets of her life. She was a woman who was not afraid to speak the truth, a trait that made her dangerous to those with secrets.

III. THE SUSPECT: AGUS SULAMAN – THE INFILTRATOR

When Haji Ramlan received the news of his daughter’s de@th, his first instinct was to call for protection. He sent his son-in-law, Agus Sulaman (38), an active police officer, to the station to coordinate the investigation. It was a move of profound irony; the man tasked with finding the k*ller was the k*ller himself.

Agus had been married to Amalia’s sister, Yanu, for four years. However, his history was a red flag of instability:

A History of Failure: Agus had been divorced three times before marrying into the Ramlan family.

The Problem Officer: At his precinct, he was known as a “troublemaker” who had been transferred multiple times due to conflicts with fellow officers.

The Arrogant Predator: Amalia’s mother, City, revealed after the m*rder that Agus was intensely disliked by the women of the family. Amalia had confessed to her mother that Agus had made “disgusting” jokes and had propositioned her for sex at least three times.

IV. THE FORENSIC TRAIL: THE RED TRITON ESTRADA

The breakthrough in the case came from a digital audit of CCTV footage. While the police initially looked for Amalia’s motorcycle, they found it parked at her dormitory. She had left her room on a motorcycle taxi.

Behind the taxi, the CCTV caught a Red Mitsubishi Triton Estrada. When investigators visited the Ramlan family home, they found the exact same vehicle in the garage. It belonged to Agus.

DNA Evidence: Forensic teams swept the car and found Amalia’s DNA and hair fibers, proving she had been inside the vehicle shortly before her de@th.

The Phones: When Agus was taken in for questioning, police recovered two cellphones belonging to Amalia in his personal possession.

V. THE MOTIVE: bl00d AND LECHERY

The investigation revealed a two-pronged motive: Lust and Lucre.

Financial Greed: As the company accountant, Amalia had caught Agus attempting to falsify business documents to skim money from her father’s grocery and hardware stores. She refused to help him, effectively blocking his access to the family wealth.

Sexual Rejection: Agus’s inappropriate advances had been met with Amalia’s characteristic bluntness. She had stopped respecting him and threatened to expose his “creepy” behavior to her sister and father.

In the mind of a narcissistic predator like Agus, Amalia was no longer a sister-in-law; she was an obstacle that needed to be liquidated.

VI. THE ACCOMPLICE AND THE RECONSTRUCTION

Agus did not act alone. He recruited a friend named Sutno to assist in the abduction and disposal. On December 15, the pair followed Amalia as she left the university. They kidnapped her, bound her hands, and took her to a secluded storage area owned by the family business.

The Pink Helmet Logic: According to Sutno’s confession, Agus strangled Amalia with his bare hands. After she was de@d, Agus forced Sutno to put Amalia’s pink helmet back on her head. The goal was purely psychological and forensic: if she was found with a helmet, people would assume a bike accident and might not look closely for strangulation marks.

The Theft: While Amalia’s b0dy was being dumped under the bridge, the pair went to an ATM. Sutno used Amalia’s card to withdraw 150,000 PHP (approximate equivalent in IDR) from her savings account. Agus paid Sutno 30,000 for his “services” in the m*rder.

VII. CONCLUSION: THE TRIAL OF 2026

As of today, January 4, 2026, Agus Sulaman has been stripped of his rank and is currently in a high-security cell. Sutno remains in custody as a co-conspirator. The charges are Premeditated m*rder and Robbery, which in Indonesia can carry the de@th penalty.

The first trial is set to begin later this month. For Haji Ramlan and his family, the grief is compounded by the betrayal. They had fed Agus, given him a car, and trusted him with their daughter’s safety. In return, he used his police training to try and execute the “perfect” m*rder of the family’s youngest child.

Amalia’s TikTok account remains active, a digital ghost of a vibrant woman whose life was cut short by a man who mistook his uniform for a license to k*ll. The “Pink Helmet Mystery” is solved, but the scars on the Indonesian National Police’s reputation will take much longer to heal.
