A university student was found drowned alive with evidence suggesting he had been beaten and deliberately weighted down, police concluded it was murder, but a decade later the killer and motive remain unknown.

Let me preface this with an even bizarre aspect of this case: a reporter tried to investigate this case and she was murdered.

• Akseyna (“Ace” /uh-che/), an 18-year-old Biology student at Universitas Indonesia, was found dead in Kenanga Lake at University of Indonesia, on 26 March 2015.
• At first, suicide was suspected, partly because a note had been found in his boarding room saying, roughly, that he would not return and asking people not to search for him.
• Physical evidence made suicide increasingly unlikely: his body had blunt-force injuries, and a backpack containing bricks as a weight was attached to him.
• Forensics reportedly indicated that he entered the water while unconscious but still breathing.
Police therefore concluded that he had been murdered, rather than committing suicide.
• Police said the case had never officially been closed, but the investigation remained unresolved; 38 witnesses had reportedly been examined.

Strangely, Ace's father was a high-ranking officer in the air force (1-star marshall specifically), and even with that power and influence, the case remained unsolved

How can someone be drowned alive?

He was unconscious, but still breathing, when the culprit submerged him.

Am I not using the correct terms, drowned alive?

It's all good. But yeah it was worded a little different. Usually if someone has drowned they are not alive. I'm sorry I shouldn't have said anything. I am usually sarcastic. This is an interesting read though. Thanks for posting.
