saco-indonesia.com, Kerja keras petugas Unit Reserse Mobil (resmob) Polres Jakarta Timur yang telah berhasil mengungkap pelaku pembunuh mayat dalam mobil patut diacungi jempol. Kedua pelaku telah diamankan di Medan, Sumatra Barat, dan di kawasan Taman Mini Indonesia Indah (TMII), Cipayung, Jakarta Timur.
Terkuaknya kasus pembunuhan ini melalui penelusuran yang telah dilakukan oleh petugas selama empat hari. Hingga akhirnya dua pelaku atas nama Asido April Simangunsong alias Edo yang berusia 22 tahun , dan Daniel Simangunsong yang berusia 20 tahun , telah diamakan .
Dengan peralatan seadanya, proses pencarian pelaku dilakukan. Bermodal plat nomor mobil Nissan March F 1356 KA milik Feby, unit resmob yang dipimpin oleh AKP Ujang Rohanda mulai bergerak. Hingga akhirnya diketahuilah alamat pertama korban di Gunung Putri, Bogor dan Apartemen Comfort, Cibubur, Jakarta Timur.
Berbekal keterangan salah seorang petugas keamanan bernama Eman, titik terang akhirnya muncul. Kala itu, berdasarkan keterangan itu, Eman telah melihat Asido datang bersama temannya dengan membawa sebuah aki. “Pelaku pun juga berucap ke petugas keamanan itu, kalau dirinya akan pindah dari apartemen yang sudah 5 bulan ditempatinya,” kata Kapolres Jakarta Timur, Kombes Mulyadi Kaharni, Senin (3/2).
Dari keterangan itu, petugas pun juga tampak semakin yakin bahwa Asido adalah pelaku pembunuh janda satu anak yang telah membusuk. Terlebih, telepon selularnya sudah tak aktif lagi dan terlacak terakhir kali berada di Merak. “Dari situ, kami langsung menerjunkan 4 petugas terbaik untuk dapat menangkap pelaku di Medan dan menangkap pelaku,” tambah Mulyadi.
Nepal’s Young Men, Lost to Migration, Then a Quake

KATHMANDU, Nepal — When the dense pillar of smoke from cremations by the Bagmati River was thinning late last week, the bodies were all coming from Gongabu, a common stopover for Nepali migrant workers headed overseas, and they were all of young men.
Hindu custom dictates that funeral pyres should be lighted by the oldest son of the deceased, but these men were too young to have sons, so they were burned by their brothers or fathers. Sukla Lal, a maize farmer, made a 14-hour journey by bus to retrieve the body of his 19-year-old son, who had been on his way to the Persian Gulf to work as a laborer.
“He wanted to live in the countryside, but he was compelled to leave by poverty,” Mr. Lal said, gazing ahead steadily as his son’s remains smoldered. “He told me, ‘You can live on your land, and I will come up with money, and we will have a happy family.’ ”
Weeks will pass before the authorities can give a complete accounting of who died in the April 25 earthquake, but it is already clear that Nepal cannot afford the losses. The countryside was largely stripped of its healthy young men even before the quake, as they migrated in great waves — 1,500 a day by some estimates — to work as laborers in India, Malaysia or one of the gulf nations, leaving many small communities populated only by elderly parents, women and children. Economists say that at some times of the year, one-quarter of Nepal’s population is working outside the country.
