In a hearing at the Military Court II-08 Jakarta, a forensic expert revealed the victim MIP was likely still alive when placed at the discovery site in Bekasi. The victim's wife rejected apologies from the three accused TNI members.
Forensic expert Astri Megaratri Pralepda from the Police Hospital Kramat Jati stated that bank branch head MIP died between 00:45 WIB and 06:45 WIB. The estimate came from an external examination of the body on 21 August 2025 showing it had not fully stiffened.
Astri explained there were curved scratch-like wounds on the victim's neck consistent with strangulation. The primary cause of death was neck trauma leading to hypoxia, though blunt force injuries to the head and chest were also present.
The victim's wife Puspita Aulia rejected apologies from the three accused Serka MN, Kopda FH, and Serka FY. She said their actions had caused her lifelong heartache and that she now had to support their young children alone.
