The perpetrator involved in the death of University of Indonesia student Akseyna Sunday Dori on March 28, 2015 has not been arrested until now. The Depok Metro Police Chief, Kombes Arya Perdana, said that this case had never been closed. "The case remains open and never closed, and my obligation is to find the maximum possible evidence to continue this case. So it has never been closed," he said when confirmed, Antara, Thursday, June 27. Arya explained that the obstacle in determining the suspect in this case was that the identity of the victim was unknown when he drowned. "Akseyna had problems from the start, because when the victim drowned his identity was not known, so his identity was known two days after drowning, after which he was identified four days later," he said. Then from the distance of the six days, according to Arya, there was enough time to eliminate evidence changing anything, like the location of the crime scene. "Well, it was an obstacle when investigators first looked for evidence, so losing six days was an extraordinary thing for investigators to find the pieces of evidence," he said. Arya has also examined a number of witnesses such as college friends, boarding houses, but not all of them know the exact incident. "As many as 38 witnesses but many witnesses did not support the situation, we are trying our best, the name is what happened a few years ago, the evidence was lacking at the beginning," he said.

Akseyna Sunday Dori is a graduate student at the Department of Biology, FMIPA UI, class 2013. He was found dead floating in Kenanga UI Lake on March 26, 2015. Initially, Akseyna was suspected of committing suicide due to depression. However, after the Depok Police, assisted by investigators from the Polda Metro Jaya and Bareskrim Polri, it was confirmed that Akseyna had died because he was murdered. But until now there has been no clue regarding the identity of the perpetrator of the murder.
