Deden explained that the perpetrator went to the victim's house with a friend on the grounds of discussing the distribution of assets, including vehicles to be sold.

"So her husband came to the house asking for Gono-gini's property, she and her friend wanted to sell the vehicle. The BPKB gave his wife's vehicle to her husband because there was a potential buyer, just take it because his wife believed she wanted to sell it," he said.

But after that, the perpetrator suddenly poured hard water until it hit the victim's face. Then the perpetrator immediately fled using a Honda Brio car which was originally going to be sold.
