A tragic stabbing incident has shocked the Sekelimus area in Bandung Kidul, Bandung, leaving a 26-year-old woman, Nanda Tritami Raina, as the victim of a brutal assault. The incident, which occurred on the night of Saturday, May 9, 2026, was allegedly perpetrated by 30-year-old CM, the victim’s former brother-in-law.
According to Hamzah, a 40-year-old eyewitness, the suspect had been lying in wait for the victim for several hours. Hamzah reported seeing the perpetrator lurking around the scene as early as 2:00 PM WIB. During this time, the suspect blended in with the local environment, even engaging in polite conversation with residents, showing no outward signs of the violence he was planning.
The situation turned violent around 8:00 PM WIB when the victim arrived at the location in a white car. The perpetrator immediately intercepted her, opened the car door, and stabbed her while she was still inside the vehicle. Investigations suggest the attack was fueled by a long-standing family grudge stemming from the suspect’s divorce from the victim’s sister. It is believed the attacker blamed Nanda for obstructing his attempts to reconcile with his former wife.
Hamzah, who witnessed the attack, rushed to the car upon hearing the victim’s cries for help. Despite the suspect demanding that he stay out of what he claimed was a family matter, Hamzah intervened, recognizing that the situation had escalated into a serious criminal act. I told him that this was no longer just a family issue, but a crime, especially given the amount of blood involved, Hamzah explained.
Following the attack, the perpetrator did not resist when confronted by bystanders. Astonishingly, he appeared to remain calm, even expressing a sense of satisfaction for having vented his anger. He told witnesses he had no intention of fleeing and felt satisfied with his actions. For those who observed his earlier polite demeanor, the sheer brutality of his actions came as a complete and harrowing shock. The local community remains shaken by the premeditated nature of the crime, which has now become the subject of an ongoing police investigation.
