Sate Diantar Ojol, Penerima Meninggal, Lima Ayam Ikut Mati: Misteri Boyolali Belum Usai

BOYOLALI - A plate of chicken sate delivered by an online motorcycle courier to Aminah's house is now the center of attention for investigators in Boyolali, Central Java. Almost three weeks after the woman was found dead, police are still trying to find out whether the food is related to her death.

This case has caught the public's attention because of a series of events that are considered unusual. Aminah was found dead at her house on Tuesday, May 19 morning. At almost the same time, five of her pet chickens were also found dead suddenly after eating the remaining sate seasoning that the victim did not finish consuming.

Until now, investigators are still waiting for the results of the autopsy and toxicology examination from the forensic laboratory to determine the cause of death of the victim.

This story begins the night before Aminah was found dead. An online motorcycle taxi driver delivered a chicken sate order to the victim's house.

According to the victim's brother, Widodo, the courier said that the customer asked for the sender's identity to be kept secret.

"Please, please, deliver it to Mrs. Aminah, but don't say it's from me. I'm her son," Widodo said, imitating the message delivered by the customer to the courier.

Later it was found out that the sate was ordered by the victim's son-in-law with the initials P. The police suspect that the order was made using someone else's account through an online motorcycle taxi application.

Without suspecting anything, Aminah accepted the food and ate it.

However, the next morning, the family found Aminah lifeless inside the house. The victim was found in a prone position on a chair with the house lights still on from the previous night.

The family claimed to have seen a number of conditions that were considered strange, including changes in the color of the victim's mouth and ears.

Suspicions were strengthened when five chickens owned by Aminah were found dead suddenly. The chickens are known to eat the remaining sate seasoning from the previous night.

The incident made the family suspect that there was a link between the delivery of satay and the victim's death.

The family's suspicions also point to the identity of the sender of the food. When receiving the order, Aminah had asked the courier where the shipment came from. According to the family, the courier said the sate was sent by a relative of the victim who lives in Solo.

However, this information actually raises questions.

"None of our family lives in Solo," said Widodo.

The family's lawyer also highlighted the location of the sate order, which was made from the Pandean area. The location is said to be near the victim's child's house, Luriyanti.

In fact, the victim's son-in-law who sent the sate was known to live in Kartasura. The family suspected that the location of the order was chosen to direct suspicion to other parties.

Ironically, Luriyanti who was said to be the sender had actually warned her mother not to eat the satay. However, the warning was ignored.

New developments emerged when the victim's son-in-law underwent an intensive examination at the Boyolali Police on Wednesday, June 3. During the approximately eight-hour examination, P admitted that he had indeed sent satay to his in-laws' house.

However, this confession is not enough for investigators to conclude that a crime has been committed.

Boyolali Police Chief AKBP Indra Maulana Saputra emphasized that investigators still need scientific evidence to confirm the relationship between the sate shipment and the victim's death.

"The person concerned admitted sending the sate. However, we cannot conclude that the sate was the cause of the victim's death. Everything is still waiting for the results of the forensic examination," said Indra.

During the examination, P also denied having put poison in the food.

According to a source who knows the course of the examination, P admitted that the satay sent was only "jampi-jampi" and was not given toxic substances.

The statement is still being investigated by investigators and has not become the basis for conclusions in this case.

To ensure the cause of death scientifically, the police exhumed or disinterred Aminah's grave on Saturday, May 30.

The process involves the Central Java Police's Medical and Health (Biddokkes) Team and the Disaster Victim Identification (DVI) Team.

In addition to conducting an autopsy on the victim's body, investigators also brought the carcasses of five chickens that died suddenly to be examined at the forensic laboratory.

Head of Public Relations of Central Java Police, Kombes Pol Artanto, said this step was taken after the family reported an alleged unnatural death.

As of Thursday, June 4, the police have examined at least eight witnesses, including the victim's son-in-law who admitted sending the sate.

"For current developments, there are already eight witnesses that we have asked for information. One of them is the victim's son-in-law who allegedly sent the chicken sate. However, his status is still as a witness," said Indra.

Until now, the police have not concluded whether Aminah died of poisoning, premeditated murder, or other causes.

"We are still waiting for the results of the autopsy and forensic toxicology examination to determine whether there are toxic substances in the victim's body," said Artanto.

The answer to the mystery of Aminah's death now depends entirely on the results of forensic laboratory examinations. These results will later become the basis for investigators to determine whether there are criminal elements and further legal steps in the case that has shocked the residents of Boyolali.
