Zain explained that the murder was carried out against the victim on Monday, December 2 evening and the victim's body was found on Wednesday, December 4 by residents while going fishing at the scene.

"The perpetrator admitted that he was hurt by what the victim said against him," he said.

"When meeting after work, the perpetrator and the victim agreed to take a walk using the victim's motorbike," he explained.

Furthermore, at the gas station in Gaga Village, the two of them chatted with each other. The victim said that he was liking someone. Then the perpetrator asked how the victim looked at him.

Then the victim answered, the perpetrator never tidied up his hair, was black, and would not have a girlfriend if he was not matched.

"As a result of these words, the perpetrator felt hurt and took the victim to the side of the Cisadane River, Gaga Village, Pakuhaji District, Tangerang Regency (TKP) to take pictures," he explained.
