Mystery Surrounds Diplomat’s Death, Wife’s Pleas for Check Unfold
Early morning calls to boarding house guard precede discovery of Foreign Ministry official
The cause of death for ADP, a 39-year-old diplomat with the Indonesian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, remains unclear after he was found deceased in his Menteng boarding room. His final movements were captured by CCTV, as his wife repeatedly requested a room check.
Timeline of Wife’s Concern
The victim was discovered on July 8, 2025, around 7:40 AM, with his head reportedly covered in duct tape. Menteng Police Chief Commissioner **Rezha Rahandhi** stated that **ADP**’s last known communication was a normal phone call with his wife on the evening of July 7, 2025, at 9:00 PM.
Authorities have interviewed witnesses, including the boarding house owner, housekeeper, and the victim’s sister. Police noted that **ADP** apparently had no known enemies.
The victim’s wife has also provided a statement to investigators. Kompol **Sigit Karyono**, Deputy Head of Criminal Investigations for the Central Jakarta Metropolitan Police, indicated that **ADP** had a history of illness. “For the time being, from the wife’s examination results, he really has pain, has GERD, just cholesterol pain,”
**Sigit** said on Wednesday, July 9, 2025. These findings are being compiled with autopsy results.
Wife’s Persistent Calls for Investigation
Head of Public Relations for the Jakarta Metropolitan Police, Commissioner **Ade Ary Syam Indradi**, detailed the sequence of events initiated by the victim’s wife. She began trying to contact **ADP** on Monday, July 7, 2025, ultimately contacting the boarding house guard three times.
The initial attempt to reach the boarding housekeeper via an old, inactive phone number failed. The wife then successfully contacted the housekeeper via a new number at midnight.
- On July 7, 2025, at 10:40 PM WIB, the victim’s wife first called the boarding guard using the inactive number to request a room check.
- On July 8, 2025, at 12:48 AM WIB, she contacted the boarding guard again using the new number for the same purpose.
- On July 8, 2025, at 5:27 AM WIB, the wife made a third request to the boarding housekeeper to check her husband’s room.
CCTV Captures Final Hours
Police revealed **ADP**’s last known activity at the boarding house was around 10:30 PM on Monday, when he greeted the boarding house guard. “So that night, around 10:00 PM, nearing 10:30 PM, he said hello to the boarding guard, ‘Come on Mas,’ that’s all,”
explained **Rezha Rahandhi**.
At that time, **ADP** appeared to be receiving a food order and then ate in the boarding house’s communal dining area. “He ate, he said. In the boarding house, there is a room like his kitchen. At night, he ate. Maybe it had been ordered, yes. It was proven that it was seen on CCTV, he was taking out the trash,”
**Rezha** added.
CCTV footage reviewed on Thursday, July 10, 2025, shows **ADP** entering his room at 11:23 PM on Monday, July 7. A minute later, at 11:24 PM, he was seen leaving with a bag of trash, only to return without it a minute later, re-entering his room at 11:25 PM. His movements appeared normal, with his shirt unbuttoned.
Further CCTV footage from early Tuesday, July 8, shows a boarding house guard, clad only in a sarong, passing **ADP**’s room at 12:27 AM. The guard, holding a cellphone and with a shirt on his shoulder, glanced at the victim’s window before re-entering the building a few seconds later.
Upon re-entering, the guard was seen on his phone. He then approached **ADP**’s door, standing in front of it from 12:27:54 AM to 12:28:12 AM. Later, at 5:20 AM, the guard, now wearing a shirt and shorts and carrying a broom, returned to the victim’s window, looking closely and then under the door.
Commissioner **Ade Ary Syam Indradi** clarified that the guard’s actions were in response to the wife’s request. “Right, the boarding guard checked. His wife asked the boarding housekeeper to check because her husband’s cellphone was dead,”
**Ade Ary** explained.
The timeline based on CCTV includes:
- July 7, 10:00 PM: Victim greets boarding keeper.
- July 7, 11:22 PM: CCTV shows **ADP** entering his boarding room.
- July 7, 11:24 PM: **ADP** exits with trash.
- July 7, 11:25 PM: **ADP** returns without the trash.
- July 8, 12:27 AM: Guard passes victim’s room.
- July 8, 5:20 AM: Guard returns to victim’s window.
- July 8, 7:40 AM: Victim found deceased.
The investigation continues, with authorities examining all available evidence to determine the circumstances surrounding **ADP**’s death. The lack of apparent enemies suggests internal or personal factors may be at play, pending further autopsy and forensic reports.

She’s gone.’ And Paul told me, ‘You gotta call the state police and I told him, ‘Can you call the state police?’ And he said, ‘No, you guys have to call them.’ And by that time, me and Ron are both pretty f**king hysterical,'” Kessler recounts, painting a vivid picture of the chaotic and distressing scene.
ron, mentioned in Kessler’s account, was the couple’s security guard, while Paul is a friend of Kessler’s.
