JAKARTA - A student with the initials PC (23) was desperate to end his life by covering his head with plastic and a gas hose until he died. The victim was found supine on his bed in the Cengkareng Apartment area, 7th Floor, Block D6, Duri Kosambi Village, Cengkareng, West Jakarta.

From his identity, the victim was recorded as a resident of Jalan Haji Saa'ba, Perum Mawar, Joglo Village, Kembangan.

Before ending his life, the victim had sent a message to his mother that said "mam if you get this I'm already dead, I killed myself, suice note is near my bed".

It was later discovered that PC was a student at a university in Bandung. For 7 years, PC took education but never graduated.

The victim had asked his father for capital to build a coffee shop. But the father asked the victim to focus on his education first. It is suspected that the problem triggered the victim to become depressed and chose to end his life in his apartment.

Cengkareng Police Chief AKP Endah Pusparini said the victim was found dead due to suicide in an apartment in the Duri Kosambi area.

"The family refused to carry out an autopsy and there were no signs of violence on the victim's body," he said when confirmed by VOI, Thursday, November 4.

Separately, the Head of Criminal Investigation Unit of the Cengkareng Police, Iptu Tri Baskoro Bintang Wijaya, explained that when it was first discovered the victim's condition was in a supine position on the mattress.

"The victim's head was covered with plastic and a gas hose. The motive for the suicide was suspected because he often had disagreements with his family," said Kanit.

Both of the victim's parents live in the Kembangan area. The relationship between the parents and the victim is not in good condition. This is what makes the victim choose to live in an apartment.

"So the victim did not get along with her parents, often quarreled, so she chose to live alone in the apartment," he said

Meanwhile, the victim's father, who received a message (suicide statement) from his wife, immediately went to the victim's apartment room. Arriving at the apartment, the bedroom door was not locked.

After the victim's father opened the apartment door, the victim's father was surprised because the victim's PC was dead in his room.

Then the victim's father asked the apartment officers for help to contact the police. Upon receiving the report, the security forces contacted the Cengkareng Police.

"From his father's statement, that the son (had) asked for capital for a coffee cafe business, but his father did not grant the request on the grounds that the victim had to focus on his studies. This is what allegedly triggered the victim to choose to end his life," he explained.
