Currently, the police have arrested one person suspected of being the perpetrator of the murder who was a colleague of the main perpetrator.

Based on the results of the interrogation of the perpetrator who was arrested on Tuesday, June 25 in Batam City, the police managed to gather information that the perpetrator had killed a cooperative employee named Anton, who was previously reported missing by his attorney and family.
