Approximately 288 years ago in a place which is situated the region Jacatra Weg (now Pangeran Jayakarta's Street), precisely near Portuguese Church "Zion", an event the death penalty for someone who is branded as rebels by the government of Batavia had become a story about how low the value of humanity circumstances.

Is Pieter Erberveld. A resident of Batavia Indo-German-blooded. Her father is a bloody German tanners. While his mother came from Siam Affairs. (Historical Sites Of London; Adolf Heuken - Meanwhile, in his Batavia Queen Of East, Alwi Shahab said Pieter Erberveld mother came from Java).

Not clearly known source of hatred Pieter Erberveld to the Dutch authorities in Batavia, but some sources mention the conflict began as a result of injustice in Batavia government land cases in the Pondok Bambu.

As a landlord in Pondok Bambu, Pieter Erberveld felt aggrieved when the colonial government confiscated hundreds of acres of his land by reason of the land does not have a permit issued by the authorities.

Resistance done Pieter Erberveld abuses committed against the city government. In opposition Pieter got a lot of sympathy and support from indigenous people who are already hated the Dutch government in Batavia. Pieter Erberveld resistance was due to receive additional punishment from the city. 3300 he was fined a bunch of rice to be paid to the government.

Hatred that intensified this causes Pieter relationship with the Dutch in Batavia residents stretchable. On the other hand, the attitude of sympathy shown to her native citizens increasingly tightened Erberveld Pieter relations with native communities. Especially after he managed to establish a relationship with some nobility in the Sultanate of Banten.

Pieter relations with the Sultanate of Banten make city government of Batavia sultry. Why not, then the Sultanate of Banten is still a threat to the survival of the Dutch in Batavia. Even the news that Pieter Erberveld included among those who hate the Dutch government at Batavia in turn make the atmosphere hot.

An intelligence official reports published by the colonial states, Pieter Erberverld with support from the sultanate of Banten (Raden Kartadirya) and a young man named Layek Sumbawa has planned a massive revolt against the Dutch authorities in Batavia. He plans to kill all Dutch citizens in Batavia.

D-day rebellion will be held on December 31, 1721, or just in time for New Year's Eve party in 1722 (in his book De Nederlandsch Oostindische Compagnie in de Achtiende eeuw; Dutch historian Prof. Goode Dr.EC Molsbergen doubt the truth of the plan of this mutiny. Goode called the plan just a government conspiracy to rid the city of Batavia Pieter Erberveld).

Based on these reports the government sent Reeyke Heere Batavia (VOC Commissioner for the affairs of Bumiputera) to make arrests against Pieter along with his gang (including Raden Kartadirya & Layeek). He was imprisoned and forced to confess pemberontaknnya plan.

Pieter approximately four months in jail. Before he and his group were sentenced to death on 22 April 1722 on the orders of College van Heemradeen Schepenen (Council of Senior Officials of State).

Unlike the death penalty which is usually done by the government of Batavia by way of beheading victim or hang it in front of the Stadhuis, the death penalty for Pieter Erberveld implemented outside the walls of Batavia south. Precisely in what is now called Kampung Pecah Kulit (Broken Skin camp). The punishment was very cruel. Each of the hands and feet tied Pieter and his supporters on the four horses who raced to the four compass points as opposed to broken and fragmented (some sources say the origin of the name of the village of Broken Skin taken from the event).

As a warning to residents not follow Pieter Erberveld, the colonial government to cut the head Pieter Erberlveld and drove it on a spear. The head may be left hanging without being touched. While the former dilahan massacre took place, built a memorial is equipped with a stone wall and a statue of a skull pierced by a spear on it.

At the monument emblazoned 9 line written in Dutch which is equipped with a translation of the ancient Javanese script. More or less it states:

"As a memento of disgusting at the ignorant to the state who has been convicted Pieter Erberveld. Forbidden to build the house, built with wood, laying bricks and planting anything in this place now and forever. Batavia, 14 April 1722, "(Betawi, Queen Of East: Alwi Shahab).

Currently it is unclear where the existence of a wall monument. Allegedly monument was dismantled. While the former site of the massacre site in Jalan Prince Pieter Erberveld Jayakarta also been changed into a car showroom since 1986.

To be sure, if we went to the Jakarta History Museum, we can still meilhat inscription emblazoned Pieter Erberveld walled backyard of the museum. Or, if we went to the Museum of Inscriptions-Jakarta, we can see form the walls of Pieter Erberveld monument inscriptions and statues complete with a skull pierced by a spear on it. Whether the two relics were genuine or just a replica?. Please find out for yourself the answer.
