Alleged Jakarta child predator and serial killer Bayquni, or Babe, told his lawyer that he was friends with convicted child killer Robot Gedek, or Siswanto, who was arrested in 1996 for sodomizing and killing 12 street children.
Bayquni and Robot allegedly knew about each other’s criminal behavior, said Bayquni’s lawyer Haposan Hutagalung.
Haponsan said that the men first met in 1993 when both of them lived on the street.
“Bayquni knew that Robot liked to sodomize and mutilate buskers and vice versa,” Haposan told Kompas.com.
However, according to Bayquni, his victims were different to Robot’s and they never conducted a crime together.
“Babe said his victims were clean and well-taken care of boys while Robot was not picky,” Haposan said.
The men also had different patterns, he added. Bayquni would kill his victims if they refused to have sex with him but Robot would kill all his victims regardless, the lawyer said.
Robot was arrested in 1996 when he was begging at Tegal Train Station in Central Java. The police reported that Robot mutilated and removed the internal organs of all of his 12 victims. He was given a death sentence by East Jakarta Court in 1997 but he died in 2007 from a cardiac arrest in Nusakambangan Prison.
Adrianus Meilala, a crime analyst from University of Indonesia, told Kompas.com that Babe and Robot had different modus operandi but both targeted street children.
“Both of them liked children, but Babe had classier taste. They were also once street children themselves,” Adrianus said.
The expert praised the police for successfully unravelling the case even though they only had minimal clues. However, he asked the police to stay alert because it was possible there were still many more child predators on the streets.
