According to data from the National Criminal Information Center (Pusiknas) of the Indonesian National Police (Polri), there were 908 murder cases reported in Indonesia from the beginning of the year until November 6, 2025.

Polri classified murder motives into 13 categories based on statements from perpetrators and witnesses.

Notably, the motive of intentional killing was the highest, accounting for 330 cases or 36.34% of the total reported cases.

Other motives included revenge (212 cases), misunderstanding (111 cases), social issues (70 cases), and economic reasons (47 cases).

Pusiknas Polri also noted that 16.51% of murder cases during this period occurred at home. This percentage is higher compared to cases on public streets, which accounted for 5.94%.

"Tragically, most murders actually occurred inside homes. Whether due to domestic violence, or other crimes such as theft and assault," Polri wrote in its report on Tuesday (11/11/2025).

The highest number of murder reports were recorded in the jurisdiction of the East Java Regional Police, with 78 cases, followed by the South Sumatra Regional Police with 77 cases and the North Sumatra Regional Police with 63 cases.
