Abstract

Murder by mutilation is a very cruel act, where the act begins with taking a person's life and continues with cutting the victim's body from the head to the entire body. This action was carried out with the aim of eliminating evidence or traces of the murder. Mutilation is also not strictly regulated in Indonesian criminal law, so that when imposing sanctions on the perpetrator there is often uncertainty and inconsistency. This causes concern and discomfort in society, especially if the perpetrator does not receive appropriate punishment.
