On his occasion, Multazam explained that the incident began when the victims passed by the group.

Furthermore, the three victims immediately fled. But the group chased him until he was finally hacked at the crime scene (TKP).

“So they are not buyers or sellers of ketoprak. They are poor. Run to the ketoprak, be chased," he said.
