According to the victim’s son, 14-year-old Yuan Krylian, a student, he left home before the incident to study Chinese. At 8 pm, he returned home and found his house closed.

He found his mother with a scarf around her neck attached to the railing of the stairs.

Immediately, he untied the krama and put his mother down and shouted to the neighbors for help, but unfortunately his mother was dead, so local people helped to report to the local authorities to come down and inspect the scene.
