Preliminary investigations showed that Daseng acted like a person with psychological disorders. He told the police that he put his bag in front of the Depok mall because he wanted to buy a drink, but then forgot where he put the bag.

The police found Daseng thanks to a mobile phone he left in the bag. (wnd)
