In addition to arresting the perpetrators, the police confiscated several pieces of evidence, including a unit of the perpetrator's red Honda Scoopy motorbike, a letter of purchase of 100 grams of gold bracelets, a black rope, and a Real cellphone resulting from the sale of stolen goods.
The police chief said the incident began when the victim's husband, Otim Syamsudin, was performing Zhuhur prayers at the mosque. Then a neighbor named Sri Hasanah, heard the commotion from the victim's house.
Then the husband immediately returned to his house, and found the victim lying covered in blood, with stab wounds on his neck and chest.

In accordance with the results of the investigation, the two perpetrators entered the victim's house through the unlocked front door.
They entered the grandmother's house with a knife and immediately targeted the gold bracelet the victim was wearing. When the victim tried to fight back and defend his bracelet, SP immediately stabbed him.
"The perpetrator is the victim's grandson who intends to control the victim's property. When carrying out the action, the perpetrator found out that the victim's husband (the perpetrator's husband) routinely prayed Zhuhur at the mosque. So they took advantage of the quiet moment at home to carry out the action," he said.

Each of them is threatened with multiple articles, namely Article 340 of the Criminal Code concerning Premeditated Murder and Article 365 of the Criminal Code concerning theft with Violence.
