A shocking case of domestic violence has once again rocked East Jakarta. A man identified as Yance has been arrested by police after allegedly setting his own wife, CUA (24), on fire in a horrifying incident that took place on Jalan Otista Raya, Bidara Cina, Jatinegara, Monday (October 13, 2025).
The arrest was made by the Women and Children Protection Unit (PPA) of East Jakarta Metro Police after investigators gathered strong evidence linking the suspect to the brutal domestic violence act.
“The PPA Unit of East Jakarta Metro Police has officially detained the suspect in connection with a domestic violence crime,” said East Jakarta Metro Police Chief, Commissioner Alfian Nurrizal, on Tuesday (October 21, 2025).
According to Alfian, the suspect is now being held at the East Jakarta Metro Police Detention Center. He emphasized that this decisive move demonstrates the police’s firm commitment to protecting victims and ensuring that perpetrators of violence are brought to justice.
“This arrest was made after investigators obtained sufficient evidence and followed all legal procedures,” he explained.
It was previously reported that Yance had been on the police’s wanted list (DPO) since 2024 for a property damage case involving a chicken porridge cart. After a year on the run, his escape has finally come to an end behind bars.
This case serves as a serious reminder for the public about the importance of preventing and reporting any form of domestic violence. Police also urged anyone who witnesses or suspects acts of abuse to come forward and report it, to protect potential victims before tragedy strikes again.
