"We will be able to see the complete sequence of events," Rumi stated. The reconstruction was scheduled to begin on Thursday, July 2, at the West Java Police headquarters.

There are several crime scenes. We also consider the situation of the place. If there was only one crime scene, it might be done there. But because there are several crime scenes, we consider security factors, especially security around the location.

Authorities opted to hold the reconstruction at the police facility rather than the actual locations where the crimes occurred. Rumi cited security considerations as the primary reason, noting that multiple locations were involved, some of which were boarding houses. The police needed to ensure the safety and comfort of the residents in these areas, as well as the security of the overall operation. "There are six places related to today's reconstruction," Rumi added.

Also, several locations are boarding houses. We also need to consider the security and comfort of the boarding house owners. Those are the main considerations. Some boarding house owners also need our attention in terms of security.
