Through police investigations, a 22-year-old unemployed man and drug addict named Indra Wijaya Ibrahim was arrested. Despite the fact that he argued he was intoxicated by alcohol and the effects of overdosing on anti-anxiety pills, Indra was found to be mentally sound at the time of killing Loo, and hence he was found guilty and sentenced to death for the robbery and murder of Loo, and he was later hanged on 29 September 1995.
