Kapolsek Jati AKP Bambang Sutaryo said that the discovery of the victim’s body is due to the suspicion of the hotel due to the lack of response from the occupants of room 105 despite the fact that it has entered the preparation time for the “check out “.

The hotel receptionist had also tried knocking on the room door, but again there was no response.

The hotel undoubtedly contacted the Jati police headquarters.

“The police came and opened the door of the hotel room with a spare key. At that time the victim was found dead,” Bambang said.
