"The autopsy revealed that the victim suffered a brain hemorrhage due to being hit with a blunt object," said Head of the Criminal Investigation Unit of the North Jakarta Sub-regional Metro Police, Superintendent Awaludin Kanur, in Jakarta on Wednesday (9/30/2026).
Awaludin explained that, based on the investigation and information obtained, the victim was kidnapped by the perpetrators, identified as YG and RA, from his residence.
After being taken from his home, the victim was then taken to YG's house. There, the victim was allegedly assaulted.
The victim was then taken to a second location, JAT's residence. At that location, EY was subjected to further abuse.
The victim's condition worsened as they were about to take him to another location. He was bleeding and having convulsions, and was eventually abandoned on Ampera Road, Kebon Bawang, Tanjung Priok, North Jakarta, on Sunday (9/6/2026).
The victim was found in critical condition and immediately taken to the hospital. After three days of treatment, EY passed away.

From the investigation, police were able to apprehend three of the six people suspected of involvement in the incident. Police are still investigating the roles of each perpetrator and are hunting down other parties suspected of involvement.
"Three suspects have been arrested: YG, RA, and JAT. One suspect is suspected of being the main perpetrator," said Rohman Yonky Dilatha in Jakarta, Wednesday (9/30/2026).
Rohman revealed that the alleged kidnapping and assault was triggered by a motorcycle pawn dispute. The victim was reportedly asked to pawn the perpetrator's motorcycle, but the proceeds were not given to the perpetrator.
