The statements of the witnesses, including the landlord and neighbors, were then combined with the findings of fingerprints by the identification team at the location.

“From the results of taking the statements of several witnesses, we suspect that this body is someone with the initials D,” said Azis.

According to Azis, while waiting for the official results of the autopsy, tracking of a number of evidence was speeded up, especially the finding of the ceramic tiles used to cover the graves.

“Tiles are also our finding, whether these are old tiles or new tiles, where do they come from,” said Azis.

“Because the investigation does not only focus on the bodies, but also the items found at the TKP (crime scene), including tiles, are also searched for, whether they are in shops around here or not,” he said.

Chronology of the discovery of the body

Sukiswo (60), owner of a rented house, is the first discoverer of the body.

Initially, said Sukiswo, his wife asked him to repair the rented house toilet because it was clogged.

“However, after I saw it, there were floor tiles of different colors. So I was suspicious of the floor,” Sukiswo told reporters on Wednesday night.

“I checked, I beat it, it was empty, so I decided to dismantle it,” he continued.

Demolition starts at around 14.30 WIB until 16.00 WIB.

After that, Sukiswo stopped for a moment to perform the Asr prayer and do other activities. He then continued the demolition after evening prayer.

“After all this time, nothing was found, but after we saw that there was cement and cement waste that were not sticky to the ground, this was suspicious for me. Finally I continued digging again,” said Sukiswo.

He then stuck a crowbar and pulled it so that the structure under the floor could be more quickly unraveled.

“As soon as I shook the crowbar, there was a smell. After that I reported it to Pak RT and RW,” said Sukiswo.

“Only after continuing to dig a little more, it looks like a knee, but not sure, but it looks like that (knee),” he added.

The police who received the report arrived at the location. The excavation was then carried out together with the identification team, until it was found that the bones were actually part of the body which was buried in a sitting position hunched over.

Some of the victim’s clothes remained even though the corpse had turned into dirt.
