"To check and search visitors, we already have a metal detector. In the future we will prepare a gate for checking metal detectors," he said.

"He was a karaoke guest. Then went to the club briefly and then to the parking lot. There was nothing suspicious inside. He stayed here for about 2 hours," he said.

Greatindo Manager, Ade Aenul, who is a parking management partner at Hotel Braga, believes that the suspect suddenly committed the act when the victim was just asking for a parking ticket.

"So there has been no process of scanning the barcode of the ticket and the nominal fee has not yet appeared. "In accordance with the SOP, our officers asked for tickets, but then the incident happened," said Ade.
