Witness Dede Bongkar Regarding Aep And Iptu Rudiana Asked Him To Tell A Lie In The Vina Cirebon Case

JAKARTA - Dede, one of the witnesses in the murder case of Vina and Eky Cirebon, admitted that he was asked to provide false information by Aep and Iptu Rudiana.

The request began when Dede was contacted by Aep by telephone on September 2. At that time, he was invited to come to the Cirebon Police.

"The story is that the night Aep called me to the Police on September 2 at night around the 7's," said Dede at Peradi Tower, East Jakarta, Monday, July 22.

Dede obeyed the invitation and went straight to the Cirebon Police Station. Arriving at the location, the 30-year-old man asked about Aep's intent and purpose in inviting him.

At that time, Aep said that the two of them would provide testimony as witnesses in criminal cases. Dede was surprised because he never saw or knew the case.

However, Aep actually asked him to follow all his instructions when giving information at the Cirebon Police.

"After that I asked Aeb why we didn't know what the incident was, 'I'll direct me later, follow my words' he said that," said Dede, repeating Aep's statement.

Not only that, Dede also claimed if he had asked Iptu Rudiana. At that time, it was stated that he would witness the murder of his son, Eky.

Dede was then directed to provide information when he saw a group of youths chasing Vina and Eky. In fact, there was a stone throwing.

"That's where I was told that I was hanging out in a shop. If that's true, I just hang out buying cigarettes, only if there is a bamboo throwing teaching a group of motorbikes, it doesn't actually exist," said Dede.

The murder case of Vina and Eky Cirebon occurred in 2016. Based on the ongoing legal process, there were 8 people named as suspects.

Rivaldi Aditya Wardana, Eko Ramadhani, Hadi Saputra, Jaya, Eka Sandi, Sudirman, Supriyanto, and Saka Tatal.

Then, from the court's decision, seven of them were found guilty and sentenced to life imprisonment.

Meanwhile, Saka Tatal was only sentenced to 8 years in prison because at that time he was a minor.
