The perpetrator felt hurt by the words of the victim's mother VI. The victim's initials VI were neighbors, they did not have any relationship.

The victim was killed by the perpetrator by being smothered and snared using a cellphone charger cable.

The sadistic murder began because of the suspicion of victim VI's father. The reason is that until Monday night, victim VI did not return to his house. The house of the perpetrator and the victim was neighbors.

"The first time there was suspicion from the victim's father. The victim was sought by his father," said Head of Criminal Investigation Unit of the North Jakarta Metro Police, Kompol Onkoseno Gradiarso Sukahar, Tuesday, October 14, 2025.

Furthermore, one of the witnesses saw the victim's whereabouts at the perpetrator's house.

"So there was a witness, a friend of the victim's, who said that the victim was at the perpetrator's house," he said.

Then the victim's father reported the incident to the police. Residents and police then went to the scene to find the whereabouts of the victim.

"Initially, the perpetrator refused to admit that the victim was at his house. However, after the police arrived, an interrogation was carried out and checked in the perpetrator's room, the victim was finally found," he said.
