<![CDATA[Mutilation is an act that causes the victim to die by taking the life and then dismembering the victim's body. This mutilation has the aim of eliminating traces of the murder. The Criminal Code Articles 338 and 340 serve as the basis for imposing sentences for the perpetrators of the crime of mutilation, but these two articles do not regulate and explain in detail about mutilation. Because there is no regulation that specifically regulates mutilation killings, the perpetrators of mutilation are subject to the same articles as those of ordinary murder and premeditated murder. Therefore, the problem that will be discussed in this paper is how the crime of murder by mutilation is in criminal law in Indonesia.
