Madiun murder suspect reconstructs killing of wife and child

Madiun murder case Dwi Bagus Martono mutilation East Java Regional Police pre-reconstruction

Dwi Bagus Martono, the suspect in a brutal murder and mutilation case in Madiun, underwent a pre-reconstruction process involving 48 scenes across three locations: Hotel Mataram Baru, his parents' house on Jalan Doho, and his private residence on Jalan Kunir.

Police investigations revealed that the crime was triggered by an argument at a hotel between Martono and his religious wife, Dini Hardiyanti (30). Following the dispute, Martono allegedly strangled Dini and subsequently killed her 4-year-old son, Arshaka Ghafa, to prevent him from witnessing the crime. To conceal the evidence, the suspect reportedly burned and used a meat grinder to mutilate the bodies before disposing of the remains.

Martono expressed remorse during a press conference at the East Java Regional Police Headquarters, claiming his actions were a result of a momentary lapse in judgment. He also claimed to have been inspired by an Indian film during the process of destroying the evidence.

Martono's legal wife, Martha Amalia Iflahah, was present during the reconstruction and was visibly emotional. East Java Regional Police stated that she was unaware of the murders or the disposal of the bodies, as the activities took place in the spacious backyard of their home, which contains a bonsai garden.
