JAKARTA - The National Police's Forensic Laboratory Center (Puslabfor) team conducted a crime scene (TKP) of a fire that was experienced by a shophouse in Mampang Prapatan, South Jakarta, resulting in the death of seven people.

"Later, we will get the exact cause of this fire. What was the origin of the fire," said Deputy Head of Criminal Investigation at the South Jakarta Metro Police, Kompol Henrikus Yossi, Friday, April 19.

Yossi said the South Jakarta Metro Police is currently coordinating with a team from the National Police Laboratory to conduct a burning shop crime scene investigation.

According to him, when the blackout is complete, officers will immediately go in and check all possible causes of the shop fire that killed seven people.

"Of course, after receiving conditions for certainty that the TKP was extinguished and there were no more fires that were still burning, then the next step was that we would coordinate with the puslabfor team to conduct TKP processing," he said.

Yossi said that from the beginning the Mampang Prapatan Police fire incident and the South Jakarta Metro Police Satreskrim had monitored the scene, but because there were still several efforts to extinguish the work, the work had been postponed.

"We have not been able to enter the crime scene because there are still efforts from the fire department to ensure that the fire has been completely extinguished," he said.
