“Wns was dishonorably discharged. I have ordered the administrative department to conduct the termination,” said Chief of South Minahasa’s Local Police Unit, Nofriet Ransulangi, to VIVAnews, Tuesday, Jan 24.
Nofriet said that the murder has greatly scarred the local police’s good reputation. “Such member must be terminated. It is a disgrace to our unit,” he said.

VIVAnews monitored that the suspect’s parents house were damaged seen from window’s glass shreds in front of the house and also the damaged electronic appliances in the house.
