Recently appeared news shocked all Indonesian citizens, especially on social media, in a house in the West Jakarta area a family was found whose entire family member was found dead in quite suspicious conditions. The corpses of this family had dried up and were said to be only skin and bones.

Thursday, November 10, 2022, an RT head in the Kalideres housing complex, West Jakarta, received reports from residents who smelled an unpleasant odor coming from a house in their housing complex. After receiving the information, the RT head immediately contacted the local Polsek, then when the police arrived at the fence the door to the house was still locked.

"At that time the fence of the house and the main door were locked," said West Jakarta Metro Police Chief, Kombes Pol Pasma.

Then the next day, November 11, 2022, the police conducted an autopsy on the bodies that were found. According to the prosecutor's office, the forensic team for these four bodies thought to have died more than three weeks before their bodies were found.

"Based on the information from the forensic doctor, this death was from three weeks ago," said Pasma.

And the most important thing here is that the time of their death was different, it is not sure exactly when they died. Then the awkwardness here is that no traces of abuse were found on the bodies.

Doctors only found the stomachs of these corpses to be empty and the muscles had shrunk, and it is suspected that these four bodies were found to have died from starvation a long time, which is not enough.

During the investigation the police found several findings at the TKP, the first was that the house was found in a neat and uncluttered state, no bloodstains were found in the house, the police found items in boxes such as clothes, like they wanted to move house, lights that had been removed, no materials food, water and fridge empty. Not only that but some vehicles were not found at the crime scene.

The police also asked for information from relatives, on November 13, 2022, RM's younger sibling with the initials RA gave information to Kompas.

First, when interviewed, the husband of RA, with the initials R, admitted that he has not communicated with his wife's family for 20 years, while RA his wife has lost communication with his family since 5 years ago.

Second, the victim or RA's sister never asked RA or her husband for help at all. What the victim knows is that people like to beg, but like to give to people.

Until now this case has not been revealed because the eyewitnesses have died and only received information from residents, there are many irregularities in this case, not a few people think that the death of one family was not due to hunger but there were other things such as avoiding debts, following rituals, or intentionally taking mass lives.
