According to him, the arrest was made at the house of one of the perpetrator's friends who is also an ex-convict. When arrested, Rony had tried to escape so that the officers took measured action on his right leg.

After being arrested, the perpetrator was immediately taken by the Resmob Team to the Banyumas Police Satreskrim Office in Purwokerto for examination.
Based on the results of the interim examination, it was found that the motive for the murder was based on the perpetrator's jealousy towards the victim with the initials IGC (25), a resident of Purbalingga Regency, who is his lover because the woman is in a relationship with another man.
"The murder of the IGC was carried out by the perpetrator on Tuesday at a hotel," explained Kasatreskrim.

In addition, he said, the murder case against the IGC was allegedly planned by the perpetrator, so his party would ensnare the perpetrator with Article 340 of the Criminal Code Jo. Article 338 of the Criminal Code.
