Necklace Snatched and Fell, Mother Didiet Maulana Suffered Head Injuries - Currently in Recovery

He detailed a brief chronology of when the incident occurred. According to Didiet, the location of the incident is actually considered safe and there has never been a similar incident before. “Usually my mother always goes for a morning run. Well, every day and it should be safe there because nothing has ever happened, but that day the incident was unexpected,” he explained.

From the CCTV footage they have, Didiet said the perpetrator came from the opposite direction. He suspected the perpetrator had been stalking before finally carrying out the action quickly.

“So, my mother, if you look at the footage, there was a motorcycle that was actually going against the flow because when my mother was walking over there, this direction was here, he was going against the flow, tried once but didn’t succeed, then my mother said he revved up until my mother fell and finally her necklace came off,” he revealed.

After the incident, the family immediately took the victim to the hospital before reporting to the authorities. The report was then filed at the police station on the same day. “We reported it right away. So, we reported the incident right after leaving the hospital that afternoon to the police station,” he said.

As a result of the incident, Didiet's mother suffered several physical injuries. The injuries were scattered across several parts of her body due to falling while defending her valuables. “There are bruises along her right thigh from holding on, then injuries on her hands and head,” he said.

The trauma experienced by his mother was quite significant after the incident. Didiet recalls the moment when his mother arrived home in a terrible condition. “My mother must have been in shock. Then, at around 8 in the morning after the incident, she was taken home by a young man on a motorcycle. At that time, my mother was screaming from outside; I thought my cat had been hit because we have several cats,” he said.

Didiet admitted he was shocked to see his mother in a condition covered in blood. At that moment, he immediately took his mother to the hospital without a second thought. “It turned out she came in already covered in blood in her sports clothes, and we panicked, because I also thought what happened to her head or how it was, and she was already covered in blood. So we finally took her straight to the hospital,” he said.

Regarding the handling of the case, Didiet mentioned that the police from the South Jakarta Police and the Metro Jaya Police immediately took action. As of now, the investigation process is still ongoing. “The update from the police is that the case is being handled by the South Jakarta Police, where we reported it, and the Metro Jaya Police also immediately intervened. Furthermore, as of today, the police team is still investigating the case,” he explained.

He also emphasized that the perpetrator of the mugging was only one person. The location of the perpetrator is suspected to still be around their neighborhood. “The perpetrator is one person. So, in that area, maybe within a radius of 500 meters from our house. So if we look at the CCTV at 17:03, he committed several of those crimes and then headed towards us,” he added.

Although the jewelry in the form of a necklace belonging to his mother was successfully taken by the perpetrator, Didiet stated that his mother’s condition is now gradually improving. He hopes his mother will recover both physically and mentally soon.

“As for my mother, it's the necklace. My mother is now in recovery; I posted on my social media today, thank God she can exercise again, and tomorrow marks exactly a week, so hopefully her trauma of going outside has decreased,” Didiet concluded.
