It is known that the man's body was found in Kali Bayur RT 3/7, Periuk Jaya Village, Periuk, Tangerang City, on Friday 19 August 2022.

The Tangerang City Metro Police Chief, Kombes Zain Dwi Nugroho, said the identity of the body was revealed after three months under investigation by the Tangerang City Metro Police, the victim was identified as 32-year-old Asril.

"The victim is named Asril, for which residents we will convey it clearly," said Zain in his statement, Monday, November 21.

Zain explained that the victim's identity was revealed at first, because there were characteristics of a rose tattoo on his arm. Based on this information, his party then looked for the victim's family.

"So his family did not know that Asril was the victim of murder. Finally, a DNA test was carried out by taking samples from his biological family, the test results stated that the victim's DNA with his brother and sister were identical," he said.

On that occasion, Zain admitted that the disclosure of his identity was initially a little difficult. Because the condition of the victim's body is not yet recognizable. "His hand was destroyed and his head was just a skull. Information was only armed with tattoos belonging to the victim which were later distributed," he said

On that basis, his party has upgraded the status from the investigation stage to the investigation stage. Because there is preliminary evidence that a crime of murder has occurred and the police have examined 12 witnesses, including from forensic medicine to obtain the results of an autopsy and DNA results.

"From the evidence we found, we will help reveal the perpetrators. Please pray that the perpetrators can be identified immediately," he concluded.
