Kata Hotman, hanya satu terpidana yang menyebut PG alias Pegi terlibat."Five of the six convicts who both confessed, denied that PG was involved in PG was not involved, and only one said PG was involved. That means, which five against one is the right one?" Hotman explained during a press conference in Kelapa Gading, North Jakarta, Wednesday, May 29.Hotman added, in terms of law, the proof was still very weak, so he was asked to carry out a series of further investigations. Hotman has not been able to conclude that the West Java Regional Police have arrested the perpetrators wrongly."So it cannot be stated that the total wrongful arrest or that is the person. But in terms of law, the evidence is still very weak, especially five convicts say that PG is not involved," explained Hotman.The West Java (West Java) Regional Police has corrected the People's Wanted List (DPO) in the murder and rape case of Vina Cirebon with her lover, Eki. From the previous three, it has now become one person.This was conveyed by the West Java Police's Dirkrimum Kombes Surawan when the case was released today."I emphasize here that all suspects are not 11 but nine. So there is only one DPO," Surawan told reporters at the West Java Regional Police, Sunday, May 26.There are two other names besides Pegi alias Perong who were recently arrested by the police because the perpetrators have different names."After we conducted an in-depth investigation, it turned out that the two names mentioned during this time were just nonsense. So there are no other suspects," he said.Vina is a teenager from Cirebon who was murdered and raped in August 2016. He was killed with his lover, Muhammad Rizky (16). After the investigation, the police finally named 11 people as suspects.
However, of this number, only eight were successfully brought to the court. A total of seven perpetrators were sentenced to life while one perpetrator was sentenced to eight years in prison because he was a minor at the time of the incident.The police said the remaining three were still fugitives. Apart from Pegi alias Perong, the remaining two names are Dani and Andi. Investigators even detailed the characteristics of two other fugitives. Andi, for example, is currently estimated to be 31 years old. He has a height of 165 centimeters, is small, and has straight hair with black skin.Later after eight years had passed, investigators managed to arrest one DPO, Pegi alias Perong. While the last two names were not mentioned.
