Previously it was reported that the corpse of an anonymous woman had rotted behind the house of a resident in the Petojo area, Cideng, Gambir.

From the results of the report, the rotting body of the woman was found around 10.30 WIB at the TKP location on Jalan Petojo VIY 6 No.4 RT 02/06 Cideng Urban Village, Gambir, Central Jakarta.

Based on the narrative of a witness named Joko Mulyono (42) who is also an officer of the Handling of Public Infrastructure and Facilities (PPSU), he was asked by Jon, a resident who lives behind Cristin's house, to cut down a tree because the leaves were already thick.

Then, Joko asked permission from Cristin, the owner of the house to cut down the tree behind his house.

Cristin also invited him to come in so Joko could cut down the tree. But when Joko was cutting down the tree, he smelled a pungent carcass. Not long after, Joko saw a pair of feet lying on the ground.

Seeing that there was a river lying there, he shouted and told the owner of the house and local residents that there was a corpse behind Cristin's house.
