Edward expressed his condolences for the death of Dini and regretted his son's actions. He stated that he would follow the case transparently. "In a good, orderly, and transparent manner, I would like to convey to the media friends that I deeply sympathize and regret Ronald's actions because this incident was not expected by all of us," said Edward. Edward also apologized for his son's behavior in assaulting Dini until her death. He admitted that Ronald's behavior was far from the values they had taught as parents.

"And the sincerest apologies and deepest regrets for the passing of our sister Dini Sera Afrianti, as parents, we have never taught our children to engage in inhumane actions," he said. Edward hopes that his child can take responsibility for his own actions considering that he is already an adult. "It is out of character for him to harm others. But Ronald is already an adult, he is 31 years old, so I believe that he should be held accountable for what he has done, both in the eyes of the law, legal process, and in the eyes of God. In the afterlife, it is impossible for him to commit legal mistakes or violations. It is not possible for me to go to prison," he explained.

"This yesterday, our family was visited by someone named Fauzi as an intermediary claiming to be from the perpetrator's side. He said he was from a commission with Ronald's father and told him to come here," said Elsa, quoted from liputan6.com, Thursday, October 12, 2023. She explained that the person claimed to want to convey a number of assistance offers. "So, he was told by Ronald's father, he said, do you have any family in Sukabumi? Please help find the victim's house, and invite him to meet my family," she explained. The perpetrator's family intends to provide assistance to the victim's child who is currently in 6th grade of elementary school."

"He said it was only for Dede, but he didn't want cash, he wanted to do it via transfer because it was a large amount. But, people said that Teteh shouldn't tell the lawyer or anyone else, only us who know about it here," said Elsa. The victim's legal representative, Dimas Yemahura Alfarau, said that Dini's family received an offer of money to reconcile by withdrawing the report to the Surabaya Metropolitan Police. "I am from the legal team of the late Dini's family, and with this video, we as a family clarify many things that have been circulating in the mass media, including bad intentions or allegations of intervention from certain parties, who are trying to influence the family to make peace," he said."
