In October of 2021, police responded to reports of a disturbance at 3 am in an apartment in Fgura, where they found the accused and his flatmate with blood smeared all over the floors and walls. 

Preliminary investigations indicated that the victim had been attacked by a knife. Police who testified at the arraignment said that under interrogation Hidayat had argued with the victim for saying “bad words” about him.
