Suspicions of poisoning remain unconfirmed, as no suspicious items like poison were found in the house. Only tea was present in the kitchen being prepared. "We can't conclude yet. Still under examination. Not that it was drunk; there was just tea in the kitchen pot being prepared," Seno added.
The bodies were evacuated to Polri Hospital for autopsy and external examination.
