South Jakarta Police say they believe they have solved the mystery of who murdered attractive teenager Agnes Kharisma — the victim’s own mother.
In the early stages of the investigation, police announced they were wanting to speak to three people of interest, including two foreign boyfriends.
On Wednesday, however, South Jakarta Police Chief Sr. Comr. Gatot Eddy Pramono said Agnes’ mother, identified only as ‘M,’ her stepson, 27, and his friend, 31, had been arrested.
“Her testimony kept changing. In the end, she confessed that she killed [Agnes],” Gatot said.
He said M told police that she had been treated badly by her daughter and murdered her.
“She admitted that she was kicked out of Agnes’ house and she was upset at being treated like that by her own daughter.”
Agnes was found dead and semi-naked in a gutter on Jalan Joe in Jagakarsa on Feb. 13. She had marks around her neck.
Gatot said the accused had admitted to undressing the victim to make it appear that she had been raped.
The mother, M, allegedly paid her stepson and his friend Rp 2 million to take part in the murder.
