Residents' Testimony Before Father And Son's Body In Koja Found: Not Seen Thought To Go Umrah

JAKARTA - The case of the discovery of the bodies of Hamka Rusdi (50) and his daughter, AQ (2) on Jalan Balai Rakyat Tiga, Tugu Selatan, Koja, North Jakarta, Saturday, October 28, still leaves questions. Residents are still wondering what caused the deaths of the two victims.

One of the traders beside the victim's house, Fitra, said that before Hamka was found dead, he admitted that he had had a chance to talk in early October 2023.

In her conversation, Hamka admitted that she was not feeling well. The reason is because the weather is quite hot so that his body becomes sick.

"I don't see a date. That's also his position when he was sick. I asked, 'Sir Hamka, how come he's so weak?'. 'Yes, I'm sick, I'm not feeling well,' said Fitra when met at the location, Monday, October 30.

After talking and buying cakes, Fitra said Hamka went straight into the house and never looked back at her shape.

A few days later, his wife had the initials NHF (32).

At that time, NHF was shopping for vegetables, then stopped by his shop.

"After Mr. Hamka, he (his wife) bought vegetables in the back. He (NFH) had time to stop by, 'Mbak, buy cakes,' he said.

After the meeting, Fitra admitted that he had never met any of the families. He thought they were leaving, because the family's background was the owner of Umrah travel.

"Since then, I thought I left the person. Yes, I didn't think about him at home. It turned out to be dead (Pak Hamka)," he said.
