The Central Statistics Agency (BPS) report shows there were 1,106 murder cases in Indonesia in 2024. This number decreased by 2.03% from 1,129 murder cases in 2023.

The trend of murder cases in the country has tended to fluctuate in recent years.

The highest number of cases occurred in 2023, while the lowest level was in 2022 with 854 cases.

In 2024, the highest number of murder cases was recorded in the jurisdiction of the East Java Regional Police (Polda), with 307 cases. This was followed by North Sumatra with 139 cases and Papua with 114 cases.

Meanwhile, the provinces with the fewest reported murder cases were West Sulawesi Regional Police with 5 cases, followed by North Maluku with 8 cases and North Kalimantan with 10 cases.

According to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights by the UN, the right to life is one of the most fundamental human rights.

Furthermore, Article 28A of the 1945 Constitution of Indonesia explicitly states, "Every person has the right to live and the right to defend their life and livelihood."

"Therefore, crimes against life that diminish or deprive the right to life are categorized as the highest-ranking crimes in the international crime classification and carry the heaviest penalties in the Indonesian legal system," BPS wrote in its report Criminal Statistics 2024/2025.
