JAKARTA - Until now, Tuesday, March 22, the Pulogadung Police have not conducted an examination of the victim's family and other witnesses regarding the death of one family due to an electrocution of a water heater in the luxury housing area of Pulomas Barat 12, No.4, RT 003/10, Kelurahan Kayu Putih, Pulogadung District, East Jakarta.

When confirmed by VOI, Pulogadung Police Chief Kompol David said that the case was still under police investigation.

"Still under investigation," said Kompol David when confirmed by VOI, Tuesday, March 22.

The examination has not been carried out because the atmosphere is still in mourning.

"The family (of the victim) is still grieving," he said.

Meanwhile, according to information at the crime scene (TKP), Bernard and his family have lived in the house since January 2022. When it was occupied by Bernard's family, only the front canopy was renovated.

"Only the front (canopy) has been renovated. Inside (the victim's house) the land area is more than 500 meters. There are many buildings in the (yard) of the house," said a source at the location who did not want to give his name.

It was also explained by local residents that the house belonged to the victim's parents who had not previously lived in it for about 2 years.

"Previously it was empty, there were only a helper and a gardener, two people. There were many (owners) houses," he said.

After the old house was empty, he continued, Bernard reportedly started living in the house with his family.

"Bernard has lived since January 2022. I think he's the third or fourth child. Because (the residents who live in this complex) are closed, they don't socialize," he said.
