In a heartbreaking turn of events, the lifeless body of 72-year-old Bimih was discovered in her home in the village of Sindang Jaya, Cabangbungin District, Bekasi Regency, West Java, in the early hours of Monday, February 10, 2025. What started as a regular morning quickly turned into a nightmare when it was strongly suspected that Bimih had fallen victim to a fatal robbery.
As the sun began to rise, a grim scene unfolded inside the residence, which also served as a small convenience store. Bimih was found with her hands, feet, and neck bound with cloth, indicating a violent struggle had taken place. To make matters worse, various items from Bimih’s home were missing, presumably taken by the ruthless intruders. The local Police Chief of Cabangbungin, AKP Basuni, expressed his shock and grief at the unsettling crime scene but was unable to provide a detailed list of the stolen items.
The Incident Unfolds: Witnesses Shed Light on a Tragic Turn of Events
AKP Basuni went on to recount the sequence of events that led to the discovery of Bimih’s lifeless body. According to statements from nearby residents, on Sunday, February 9, 2025, around 11:59 PM, a man was seen exiting the victim’s store, which had closed around 9:00 PM. Shortly after, two individuals on a motorcycle approached the man who had left the store. The suspicious behavior of these individuals caught the attention of a witness who, at the time, was enjoying a late-night meal at a local food stall directly across from Bimih’s home.
Feeling a sense of alarm, the witness wasted no time in alerting the neighborhood by shouting ‘Thief!’ to summon help from others. “Two individuals on the motorcycle immediately approached the man and fled after the witness yelled ‘Thief!'” the witness vividly recounted. Concerned for Bimih’s safety, the witness, along with several neighbors and a relative of the victim, rushed to investigate the unfolding commotion.
Upon entering Bimih’s home, the grim reality of the situation became apparent. “As soon as we arrived at the scene, we found the victim with her hands, feet, and neck bound,” AKP Basuni revealed. Despite the harrowing discovery, the exact circumstances surrounding Bimih’s tragic demise remained shrouded in mystery, prompting law enforcement to launch a thorough investigation to uncover the truth behind the heinous crime.
