Andi said the victim’s uncle is undergoing medical treatment due to his critical condition. Police suspect the victim’s uncle brutally killed the victim.
“He is still being treated in the hospital (the uncle). For now, we are still investigating, but he is still a suspect. Because we are waiting for him, he was in critical condition last night. We are waiting for his condition to improve first. He has also been given medication. God willing, we will proceed to question him,” said Andi on Thursday (28/5/2026).
He also revealed that G has a mental disorder and had previously been taken to a psychiatrist and regularly took medication. The victim and G were being raised by the victim’s grandmother.

However, in the last two days, the victim’s uncle did not take his medication because the grandmother could not afford to buy it.
“But for the past 2 days, he hasn’t taken his medication because, as I said, the victim’s mother didn’t have money to buy more medicine,” he said.
