"The invitation to eat is someone's birthday. (saturday morning) At 02.00 am, Davi's cellphone is still active, but it's just not answered. Usually, if you call, you will definitely be picked up," said Yanti.

However, on Sunday, Yanti and her family received sad news regarding the whereabouts of Davi. The family received news that Davi was one of seven teenagers found dead in the Bekasi River.

Meanwhile, from R (witnesses)'s statement to Yanti, during the raid carried out by the Pioneer Patrol Team (TPP), R and Davi ran to save each other and separately. R was arrested by the police, but because he did not have any evidence, R was finally released.

"R survived, (Monday morning) he was returned (freed by the police) because it was not proven, there was no knife. Indeed, their intention was not a brawl, yes, there was a friend's program," he explained.

Even the motorbike used by R and Davi was also left behind. Finally, the motorbike was secured to the Rawa Lumbu Police Station and confiscated as evidence.

"The motorbike is at the Rawa Lumbu Police. It goes together (Davi and R victims), but the return is not together. We consider this fate," he said.
