According to the police, the driver went to check on WH after receiving instructions from the victim's wife. The executive had previously sent text messages to his wife and child containing apologies, which raised immediate suspicion.
"The victim apologized via WhatsApp, which made his wife suspicious," Joko said when confirmed on Friday. "The driver received a phone call from the family asking him to check the room. Upon inspection, he found the victim deceased."
Based on the preliminary police report, WH was experiencing marital problems and chose to stay at the hotel. Investigators believe the domestic dispute triggered the decision to end his life. The firearm found at the scene belonged legally to the executive.
"The suspicion is that he had problems with his wife. He stayed there accompanied by his driver. The husband felt he was wrong, but they were actually communicating well that day and intended to reconcile," Joko explained.
The police official confirmed the executive held a high position in his company and possessed legal permits for the weapon. Authorities have ruled out foul play, stating there were no signs of criminal elements in the incident.
