  • Police are investigating the death of Sutrimo, 42, at the Mordent Aesthetic Clinic in Kebayoran Baru, South Jakarta, which has been closed since the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • The clinic, reportedly closed for about five years, appeared neglected with damaged ceilings and overgrown vegetation, and was found locked.
  • Authorities are gathering statements from family, ambulance staff, and hospital personnel, and are examining medical records and other relevant information to determine the cause of death and any connections to former high-ranking officials.

Police conducted a follow-up crime scene investigation at the Mordent Aesthetic Clinic in Kebayoran Baru, South Jakarta, on Monday, July 27, 2026, following the death of Sutrimo, 42. Sutrimo was reportedly the head of household for Febrie Adriansyah, a former Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes. He was found dead on Thursday, July 23, 2026, around 12:00 PM Western Indonesian Time.

The clinic building appeared neglected, with detached ceiling panels, overgrown weeds in the yard, and peeling paint. A security guard at the location, Dedi, stated the clinic had been closed since the COVID-19 pandemic, approximately five years ago. "It opened for a few months, then got hit by Corona, and got stuck," Dedi said on Monday, August 27, 2026. Since its closure, no activity has been observed inside, and the doors remained locked.
