Jakarta. A household goods store owner, identified by the initial S, was found dead inside his store at Pasar KBT, Pondok Bambu, Duren Sawit, in East Jakarta early Saturday morning. S was allegedly murdered by his own daughter, driven by resentment over accusations of stealing money from the victim.

The police have arrested the suspect and confiscated the knife used in the murder along with other evidence. "His daughters came here crying. I tried to calm them down," said local resident Rian on Sunday.

Titus Yudho Ully, an official from the General Crime Investigation Directorate of the Jakarta Metro Police, said the suspect was arrested by the police on Saturday when she returned to the scene of the crime.

He identified the suspect as KS, 17, the victim's daughter. KS was arrested with her sister P, 16.

Titus clarified that only KS has been arrested in connection with this case, dismissing reports that there were two suspects. "Based on the facts and our initial investigation, there is only one perpetrator," Titus said.

According to the police, KS is suspected of murdering her father out of resentment over accusations of stealing money.

The suspects were taken into custody along with the knife used in the murder and other evidence.
