From the investigation of the Sampang Police Criminal Investigation Team, it was stated that the sadistic murder case committed by IS and PW was due to romantic motives.

IS and the victim have been dating for six months, and the person concerned is 6 months pregnant due to the forbidden act between the two.

SA held IS responsible for marrying her, but refused. Even the suspect has the heart to kill the victim, assisted by his friend, who is now also a suspect in the case.

"When he met the victim that she was pregnant as a result of the intercourse at IS's house in October 2020, the suspect was panicked and spontaneously grabbed the victim's head and hit the big rock beside her," said Head of Criminal Investigation Unit of the Sampang Police, AKP Riki Donaire Piliang.

Not only that, the perpetrator also choked the victim, then asked his friend to help him hold the victim's hands and feet.

After the victim was seen dead, IS removed all of the victim's clothes before leaving, with the aim of deceiving if the victim was found to be a victim of death due to intercourse.

After being confirmed dead, the IS perpetrator also took the victim's cell phone. The corpse of the victim was found by residents eight days later in a rotten condition.

The two suspects were charged under Article 340 of the Criminal Code (KUHP) in conjunction with Article 55 paragraph 1 subsidiary to Article 338 junto Article 55 paragraph 1 concerning Murder with the threat of 10 years imprisonment.
