A family in Muara Enim, South Sumatra, Indonesia, fell victim to a vicious machete attack due to a dispute over the planting of a guava tree on their own land, resulting in the death of a 28-year-old disabled individual.
According to Detikcom, in the early hours of Friday (Jun 23), a visually impaired suspect confronted the unsuspecting victims as they rode their motorcycle towards the rubber plantation.
With a sudden burst of violence, the suspect unleashed a ruthless assault on the family..
While the parents managed to defend themselves, their disabled child met an untimely demise.
The motive behind the attack appears to stem from the suspect’s anger over the guava tree planted on their land.
Allegedly, the suspect had repeatedly requested the victims to remove the tree, expressing their displeasure.
However, the victims, unconcerned with the suspect’s demands, responded with frustration and scolded them instead.
Authorities swiftly intervened, taking the suspect into custody following the incident.
