JAKARTA - A man's body was found lying in a rented house on Jalan Pusdiklat Depnaker, RT 16 /01, Pinang Ranti Village, Makasar District, East Jakarta.

Head of Criminal Investigation Unit of the Makassar Police, Iptu Mochamad Zen, explained that the victim was identified as Budi Setiawan (39). Budi was found dead at around 10.00 WIB by Blue (56), a herbalist who at that time delivered herbs for Budi.

"The victim's regular herbalist delivered the regular herbal medicine to the victim, but when the victim called, there was no response from inside the rented house," he told reporters, Friday, September 24.

Blue's suspicion grew when he found that the herbal medicine order had not been taken two days ago and was lying in front of Budi's rented door.

When he peeked through the gap in the rented room, he saw that Budi's body was already pale and emitting an unpleasant odor. Then, Blue immediately reported the matter to the local residents.

"The local residents reported it to the Makassar Police. After receiving the report, we immediately went to the location. From the identification team's examination, it was estimated that the victim had been dead for about two days," he said.

From the results of the examination, the identification team did not find any signs of abuse on the bodies and statements of the victims' families. Until now the case is still being handled by the Makassar Police.
