Kompol Chandra said that Dedi worked as a factory employee every day. The knife, he said, was not always carried by Dedi.

"He also doesn't carry a knife every day. At the time of the incident he was no longer home from work, so he carried the knife, not snatching it from the suspected robber," he said.

"The police are open to that. In that incident there were no witnesses, only one-sided confessions, what is clear is that we have a victim who died, we reveal, he is the person. Regardless of the perpetrator or the victim," he explained.

The police ensnared the alleged robber with Article 351 paragraph 3 of the Criminal Code concerning persecution that caused death.
