The team of Criminal Police Unit of Metro Tanah Abang came to the location as they received the report and worked on the case all afternoon. According to Head of Criminal Investigation Unit of Metro Police, Commissioner Mustakim, on his briefing to Liputan6, the body fell around the apartments pool at the south part of Building A at 13.45 p.m. The body was evacuated to the Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital for an autopsy.
The mother of the victim, Ririn (36), works as housemaid for a family who live in the apartment unit. The last time Ririn checked, Sherly was napping. Ririns employer asked her to go downstairs to pick up the employers child so Ririn left her daughter alone in the room.
She got a Whatsapp message by her employer to pick up the child downstairs, said the Police Chief of Metro Tanah Abang, Superintendent Jefri Siagian to Kompas.com. The apartment has security system that doesnt allow people to go in or out without access card, so Ririn had to go downstairs to open the door for her employers child to come into the residents area.
