Based on the interrogation carried out by Indonesian police from five witnesses, there were around 10 unidentified people believed to have carried out the gruesome act.

The witnesses expressed their confidence that at least three of the unidentified persons were members of the terrorist group, Mujahidin East Indonesia, after being shown a list of persons believed to be terrorists.
