The body of the travel driver has been autopsied by the police at Bhayangkara Jambi Hospital. The travel driver died not because he was burned or a sharp object.

The cause of death of the victim was due to a blockage of the nose and mouth and a snare on the neck and a fracture of the neck of six which caused a large blood vessel to break.

"The address on the nose and mouth uses duct tape, from rich to mouth of the victim which causes the victim to die and there is a snare on the neck," he said.

When viewed from the missing conditions and vehicles, Andri ensured that this case was categorized as confiscation or robbery. This is evidenced from the analysis results of several pieces of evidence that have been found.
