“So there is a sixteen-year-old boy in Molo accused of killing the mother. I have listened to that story; it is not adding up. That's why I'm here calling on anyone who can connect me to that boy—the OCS, OCPD, or anyone who can allow me to speak to him,” he said in the video.

Kiai expressed disbelief at the version of events being reported, arguing that it would be difficult for a boy that young to commit such an act and calmly stay in the house afterward.

“I am willing to give that boy my services for free because this story is suspicious. There is no way a sixteen-year-old can kill his mother, stay in the house, and then, as reported, dig a shallow grave to bury her. You tell me whether a sixteen-year-old is capable of doing those things,” he added.

Did police beat up the boy to confess?

The lawyer also raised concerns about the conditions under which the boy may have confessed, suggesting police brutality and coercion.

“The people speaking out in the media are saying the boy was beaten up by the police, and that is why he confessed to killing the mother. It looks like this boy is being framed, possibly by family members or someone in the village, to cover up the truth. That’s why I want to get access to the boy,” he said.

Kiai pleaded with his followers and the general public to help facilitate communication with police in Molo, where the boy is reportedly in custody.

He stressed that his only goal is to ensure justice is served and the real facts are brought to light.

“I want him to gt justice, and the country to know the truth of what really happened to that mother,” he said.
