This visit, he said, was a form of government concern for the condition of the victim, who is a resident of Sorong City.

"The city is still waiting for the victim's condition to improve, but the victim himself has revealed the characteristics of the perpetrator but not yet strong," he said.

In addition, his party has also conducted examinations of three witnesses and pointed to several names. But he has not been able to determine the status of a suspect because he is still investigating by collecting strong evidence.
