When Jayanto was around six years old, he had received a doll from his uncle. Only it was not the usual kind of doll little girls play with. The doll was twelve-inch-long figure of an old man, dressed in traditional Swiss style. The man who sold the doll to Jayanto’s uncle had told him that the doll was called Fritz and it would not respond to any other name. Jayanto had a lot of toys when he was younger, but all was forgotten once Fritz came into his life. He used to play with him only.

It grew into an unhealthy obsession as he was never seen separated from the doll until the unfortunate mishap happened.
