According to Iptu Budi, the victim with the initials M is known to work at a nightclub in the Kelapa Gading area. The victim is said to have a married couple in a series. Then the victim plans to marry his siri wife legally at the KUA.
However, at the same time, the victim also had another lover with the initials L (20) a student. The relationship with L was forged when the victim had a second wife.

Then the victim went to work in the Kelapa Gading area and when he returned to his hostel, the victim was drunk.
"The testimony of this girl (the victim's lover), the victim came home drunk. The victim asked to be cooked with boiled noodles to his girlfriend, then cooked with a portable stove. They then ate together," said Iptu Budi in Kemayoran, Tuesday, April 21, 2026.
Apparently, after cooking instant noodles, the victim's lover forgot to turn on the portable gas button from the camping stove.
"After cooking the noodles, the stove may not turn off immediately. The gas is still coming out," he said.
The incident was unknowingly unknown to the victim and his lover. They also continued the chat.
After finishing eating instant noodles, the victim's boyfriend questioned their relationship with the victim.
"His girlfriend asked again about his relationship. The victim asked each other (to break up with L) because he wanted to marry KUA with his wife. Then they had a verbal argument," he said.
The dispute occurred because at that time the victim was drunk. Furthermore, L's lover then left the victim and went home to Juanda station by another online motorcycle.
The victim's lover, with the initials L, was going home to Bogor, West Java by train from Juanda station. However, after being at Juanda station, L remembered that he had forgotten to close the portable gas button after cooking instant noodles at the victim's hostel.
"Apparently the gas from the portable stove is still leaking or leaking, even though there is no fire, then there was an explosion that caused a fire. Suddenly there were hostel residents who shouted fire," he said.
The fire then killed the victim who was trapped in the fire inside his boarding house.
