From the results of the investigation, it is known that the suspect visited the victim's house through the suspect's Grab history. Since the initial meeting, the perpetrator often visited the victim's house almost every day. In that house they also act like husband and wife, even though they are of the same sex.

On December 8, when the suspect came to the victim's house at around 20.00 WIB, the suspect heard that the victim's parents were sick and were taken to the hospital so that no one was at home.

"Well, that's where the suspect's intention emerged to take control of the victim's property. So the motive for this case is that the suspect wants to take possession of the things that the victim has, namely a motorcycle and cellphone," he said.

According to the perpetrator, at that time he had prepared a knife that was taken from the kitchen of the victim's house and placed under the cupboard.
