They allege that the trio committed the atrocity out of frustration, as the stray dog had often stolen and eaten their food. ## Not arrested or detained Despite the gravity of their actions, the suspects have not been arrested or detained, as the maximum sentence for their crime under Indonesian law is nine months in prison. According to [Indonesian criminal law](https://konsultanhukum.web.id/ancaman-hukuman-yang-bisa-ditahan/), a suspect or defendant can only be detained if the crime they have committed carries a penalty of imprisonment of five years or more. The three suspects are facing charges under the Criminal Code relating to animal husbandry and health. ## Dismissed from company The individuals involved have also been dismissed from their roles at PT Jaya Mimika Lestari (JML), a supplier of construction equipment. The director of the company also stated that the company does not condone the actions of the three former employees. He emphasized that, although the men were seen in their company uniforms while committing the act, it took place outside of their working hours. The company has deferred to the authorities for all legal processes. > "As we wait for the legal process to unfold, we will concurrently terminate our employment ties with [the three suspects] as per the relevant labor law, Djamal stated. He further issued an apology on behalf of the company for the actions of the former employees, declaring, **"We, as an organization, regret and apologize for the incident precipitated by our irrational staff members."** ### Read More: - [M’sian Stops To Feed Limping Stray Dog & Is Touched When It Follows Him As A Way To Say Thank You](https://weirdkaya.com/msian-stops-to-feed-limping-stray-dog-is-touched-when-it-follows-him-as-a-way-to-say-thank-you/) - [#JusticeForKopi: Here’s A Complete Timeline Leading To Her Tragic Death & Its Aftermath](https://weirdkaya.com/justiceforkopi-heres-a-complete-timeline-leading-to-her-tragic-death-its-aftermath/) - [Kind Makcik Seen Feeding Stray Dog, Earns Praise From M’sian Netizens](https://weirdkaya.com/kind-makcik-seen-feeding-stray-dog/) - [M’sian Woman Feeds Hungry Stray Dog In Sentul, Gets Praised For Her Kindness](https://weirdkaya.com/msian-woman-feeds-hungry-stray-dog-in-sentul-gets-praised-for-her-kindness/) - [Group Of M’sian Animal Lovers Rescue Stray Dog From Cliff At Damansara Perdana](https://weirdkaya.com/group-of-msian-animal-lovers-rescue-stray-dog-from-cliff/) - [99 Speedmart staff praised for letting stray dog take shelter during a thunderstorm](https://weirdkaya.com/99-speedmart-staff-let-stray-dog-take-shelter/) --- [![WeirdKaya is on Instagram!](https://weirdkaya.com/wp-content/uploads/ig-article-cta.png)](https://www.instagram.com/weirdkaya/)For more stories like this, follow WeirdKaya on Facebook and Instagram! ---
