Especially CCTV around the crime scene," said South Jakarta Police Chief of Detectives AKBP Iskandarsyah. He noted that the investigation faces difficulties because the crime scene was no longer pristine, as several days had passed since Sutrimo was discovered on Thursday (July 23).

Authorities are also preparing to formally request medical data related to Sutrimo from the hospital. Sutrimo was found unconscious in the clinic's yard and was taken to RS Muhammadiyah Taman Puring by ambulance, where he was declared dead upon arrival.
