Cengkareng Police Chief Adjunct Commissioner Endah Pusparini said that the perpetrator was suspected of hitting his mother, identified with the initials EK (72), because he had not taken sedatives.
"Information from the community unit pointed to the fact that he had just returned from the Grogol Hospital, and he had not taken any medicine. So, because of that, his blood pressure was high and became angry," said Endah.
