Meanwhile, from DKZ's confession, since August 13, 2024, he has taken the abortion drug. After taking 18 pills of abortion, DKZ felt a great contraction and immediately entered the bathroom in their boarding house.

RR outside the bathroom also supervises and helps. After a while, the fetus came out of the womb dead.

"The suspect RR helped record the process and prepared tools such as scissors to cut the umbilical cord and cloth to wrap the baby's body," he said.

Furthermore, the fetus of the abortion victim was buried by the two suspects at TPU Carang Pulang, Pagedangan, Tangerang Regency.
