Mojokerto Mutilation: Unique Case Explained by Police

by Emma Walker – News Editor September 14, 2025

Suspect in Mojokerto Mutilation ⁤Case Driven by Psychological ‘Normlessness,’ Expert Says

Mojokerto,indonesia – The suspect in the gruesome mutilation of Tiara,whose body was discovered in 554 pieces near Mojokerto,East Java,acted under a‍ unique psychological state distinct from typical mutilation cases,according‍ to AKP Fauzy Pratama of the Mojokerto Police Criminal Investigation Unit. Fauzy,⁢ drawing on criminological theories learned at the University of Glasgow, Scotland, suggests the perpetrator, identified as Alvi, ⁣experienced a⁢ breakdown of moral and social norms, leading to the horrific act.

The basic difference, Fauzy explained, lies in the motive. “In most cases of mutilation, the perpetrators feel angry or excessive hate to the victim so that it is not enough to kill. So that the perpetrators finally ⁢have the⁤ heart to mutilate the victims. While in this case, the fundamental ‍motive that is the reason for the ⁣perpetrators (Alvi) did ⁤the act different from other cases,” he ⁢stated.

Fauzy applied ⁤the theory of⁣ Anomy, developed by Emile Durkheim,⁢ which describes a state of “normlessness” where societal rules⁤ lose relevance. Following the killing of Tiara on Sunday, August 31st, around 2:00 AM ⁣- triggered by the victim locking the ⁤boarding ⁢house ‍door from the‌ inside – ⁢Alvi reportedly experienced “very high psychological pressure, shock, and severe stress.” This, Fauzy argues, led to a process of dehumanizing the victim, aligning with concepts outlined ‌by Philip Zimbardo and Herbert Kelman.

“So⁣ that consciously‍ or unconsciously,⁢ the perpetrators (Alvi) press or may even eliminate a ⁣sense ‌of humanity, moral values and religious values that exist in him. So the perpetrators have the ‌heart ‌to treat victims in an inhuman way to eliminating evidence,” ⁣Fauzy explained.

alvi, originally from Aek Paing Tengah Hamlet, Aek Paing Village, Rantau Utara, labuhanbatu, North Sumatra, and‌ Tiara, from ⁣Made Village, Lamongan District/Regency, had been ⁣dating for approximately five years. After fatally stabbing Tiara in the neck with a kitchen knife, Alvi proceeded to dismember her body ⁤in the bathroom of their boarding house, separating flesh and organs from ⁤bone and cutting the remains into hundreds of pieces.

The discovery of the remains began on Saturday, September 6th, around 10:30 ‌AM when Suliswanto found a piece‍ of Tiara’s left foot while collecting animal feed along the Pacet-Cangar path. A⁤ subsequent search utilizing ⁤sniffer dogs from the East Java Regional Police Ditsamapta Polsatwa Unit led to the recovery of a piece of the victim’s right palm.

Police⁢ apprehended Alvi at his boarding house on Sunday, September 7th, around 1:00 AM, just 14 ‍hours after the initial discovery. Officers were⁢ forced to shoot Alvi in the legs after he resisted arrest.

The investigation continues.

Janji Palsu: Alvi Mutilasi Kekasih Jadi 554 Potongan

by Emma Walker – News Editor September 12, 2025

written by Emma Walker – News Editor

Mojokerto, East Java – A young woman’s⁤ promise ‍of marriage ended in a ‍horrific discovery: her body was found dismembered into 554 pieces in Pacet, Mojokerto. Alvi, ‌a man from Labuhanbatu, North Sumatra, has been arrested in⁢ connection with ⁢the brutal murder of Tiara, a recent university graduate.

The case has deeply shaken ⁣Tiara’s family and drawn attention⁢ to the shocking violence. Tiara, described by her father as an independent and intelligent daughter, was a cum laude⁣ graduate of Trunojoyo Madura University, completing her Management degree in just 3.5 years with a GPA of 3.75. The investigation is ongoing, with the family seeking the maximum penalty for the perpetrator and expressing gratitude for the ‍swift action of the police.

tiara’s father recounted her academic achievements, noting she was accepted into a prestigious public school in Lamongan during middle school and later attended Darul Ulum ⁢High School in Jombang ⁣while living at a pesantren (Islamic boarding school). ⁣She took a gap year before beginning her studies at UTM Bangkalan.

The family had been aware of Alvi, as he had previously visited their home. They never suspected he would commit such a violent ‍act. Upon receiving Tiara’s remains, her ⁣father voiced a desperate plea for severe punishment. “if you ⁣can be ‍punished⁤ accordingly because it is too sadistic, yes as much as possible the punishment,” he⁣ stated, ⁢visibly distraught.

Police have confirmed Alvi’s arrest and are continuing to investigate the motive and circumstances surrounding the murder. The case is being closely followed by the public, with many expressing outrage ⁢and sympathy ‍for the victim and her family.
