JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com – The killer of a pregnant woman whose body was found at the edge of the entrance to the Jagorawi Turnpike, Makassar, East Jakarta, was finally caught.
The body was found on April 7, 2019, half buried. At that time, the body was found without an identity.
Because without an identity, it is difficult for the police to uncover the case.
Furthermore, the absence of CCTV in the vicinity of the crime scene (TKP) and eyewitnesses, adds to the obstacles for the police.
Practically, the police only waited for the report if at some point the family knew the identity of the victim.
