A religious leader in Indonesia ordered the killing of a goat to restore order after an intoxicated Australian tourist went on a drunken rampage at a resort.
According to the victim, he had only consumed a single vodka shot prior to the incident.
He said he felt like he was possessed during the ordeal that occurred in Indonesia’s Aceh province.
Risby-Jones, who described himself as a normal guy, stated that he was not himself during the incident.
He also said that he would never hurt people. When asked about the incident, he stated that he did not recall what happened, and he had been kicked in the head.
The local residents of the area caught Risby-Jones after he tried to steal a motorcycle while he was naked.
If found guilty of maltreatment, he could be sentenced to up to five years imprisonment.
In addition, he could also face charges related to the sale and consumption of alcohol in the province, which is against Islamic law.
The local chief of Lantik said that the resort should make amends to the community.
In accordance with local traditions, the residents of the area were required to kill a goat to restore order.
The incident reportedly angered the locals, who threatened to burn down the hotel in response.
According to sources, at around 12.05 am on Thursday, a man from the village of Lantik started chasing two men who were trying to buy cigarettes in a shop.
The two men were then attacked by the man, who suffered a minor injury during the confrontation.
Risby-Jones was charged under Article 351 of Indonesia’s penal code.
In 2021, three non-Muslim individuals in Aceh were publicly beaten with cane for drinking alcohol.
