Thus, when Sidopekso went back, the King told him that his wife was such an unfaithful wife. Soon the Prime Minister was very angry with his wife. Sri Tanjung said that it was untrue but Sidopekso didn't believe her and said that he would kill her. Then he brought his wife to the river bank. Before he killed her and threw her into the river, his wife had said that her innocence would be proven After Sidopekso killed her. After that, he threw her dead body into the dirty river.
The shocking fact happened not long after that when the river immediately became clean and began to spread a wonderful fragrance around. Sidopekso said, "Banyu...Wangi...or Banyuwangi". This means "fragrant water". Banyuwangi was born from the proof of noble and sacred love.
