REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA -- Police identified 15 people as suspects from the case of the discovery of bodies in Kali Bekasi, exactly behind Masjid Al Ikhlas Housing Pondok Gede Permai RT004/RW008, Jatirasa, Jatiasih, Bekasi City. Of these, some of them carried sharp weapons.

Karyoto said until now it had asked for comments from witnesses and people actually involved in the incident. Regarding the discovery of the sharp weapon, the police are still investigating whether the item really exists so that if it is properly found, it can proceed to the stage of the case. “If he is ready to fight, he must bring tools,” he said.

Even so, he confirmed, until now the party could not conclude about the incident, because it was collecting various information. One of the highlights is that this group rented themselves to the river, because of fear of police patrols. “I say that the patrol is not wrong, because indeed this patrol is at 03.00 pm. If a normal person is in that state of those hours of course they are at rest,” he said
