Witnesses told the military police that they heard a “pop” from the bathroom, which caused panic and excitement among customers. The man was later found dead at the scene. He would have been shot in the head.

An employee of the institution reported to the military police that no one was seen in a suspicious position, that there were no discussions or fights during the dance.

A person familiar with the victim said that after the incident, he saw the three men leaving the toilet, however, due to the great rush, he was unable to obtain more detailed information about the trio.

During due diligence, the military police attempted to review the establishment’s security camera footage, but because the video recording system was unreliable, no image was found that could clarify the authorship of the incident.

In addition to the military police, civilian and scientific police were on the scene. The suspects in the crime and their motives have yet to be investigated.
