Police are reviewing hotel CCTV and found human bone fragments in Winongo as they search for a motive and the bodies.
Police have arrested Dwi Bagus Martono in the suspected killing of Dini Hardiyanti, 30, and her child AGF, 4, in Madiun, East Java. The case began with a missing-person report from the victims' family after Dini and AGF could not be located from 20 September 2026; the formal report was filed with Polres Madiun Kota on 5 October. The investigation later led police to a hotel in Madiun after CCTV footage showed DBM with the two victims on 19-20 September. Polda Jawa Timur then took over the case through its Jatanras team. Near a property linked to the suspect in Winongo, police found five bone fragments that forensic tests identified as part of a human skeleton. Police are still developing the case to determine the motive and find the victims' remains.
