He said that when he arrived at his family's residence, the body would be prayed and went straight to the cemetery, which of course was in Merbau Mataram District.

"In this case, of course, we are all deeply saddened by the death of a Bhayangkara Brigadier 1 Anumerta Gilang Aji Prasetyo," he said.

"Let's pray for the deceased together that he will be calm by His side and the family left behind will be given courage," he said.
