"It happened this morning at the shophouse owned by the victim in Dusun II, Gasing Village," said Sigit. Based on the results of the investigation, according to Sigit, the incident began when the perpetrator initially came to the victim's shop with the aim of asking for a top up or the balance of the application for funds worth Rp. 200 thousand. However, because at that time the perpetrator did not give money, the victim refused until finally the perpetrator was offended and carried out the brutal action. "Because the perpetrator did not give the money, the victim had not made a top up balance. Feeling displeased, the perpetrator stabbed the victim many times," he said. As a result of the incident, continued Sigit, the victim also suffered injuries to the left shoulder, right and left elbows, back back. In addition, he continued, there were also wounds on the face, precisely on the forehead and cheeks as well as on the stomach.

Then the witness saw the perpetrator leaving the victim's house without wearing a shirt. Knowing the victim's condition was covered in blood, the witness took the victim to Myria Hospital for medical assistance," he explained.
