Appeal Rejected, Aipda Robig Shooting Student SMKN 4 Semarang Still Fired From Police

JAKARTA - The National Police's Code of Ethics Appeal Commission rejected an appeal against the dishonorable dismissal (PTDH) decision filed by Semarang Police Member Aipda Robig Zaenudin, a convicted shooting case that killed a student at SMKN 4 Semarang.

Head of Public Relations of the Central Java Police, Kombes Pol. Artanto in Semarang, Thursday, said the decision was the result of the appeal commission hearing which was held today.

According to him, the trial decision will be forwarded to the HR Bureau for a draft decision to be signed by the Central Java Police Chief.

He said the considerations for rejecting the appeal included the court's decision which found Aipda Robig guilty.

"The actions concerned have damaged the image of the Police," he said.

Previously, the Semarang District Court sentenced Aipda Robig Zaenudin to 15 years in prison, in the shooting case that killed a student at SMKN 4 Semarang with the initials GRO.

In addition to the corporal punishment, the defendant was also sentenced to a fine of Rp. 200 million, which if not paid would be replaced with imprisonment for 1 month.

The defendant was found guilty of violating Article 80 paragraph (3) and (1) of Law Number 35 of 2014 concerning Child Protection.

The defendant Robig was proven to have committed violence against a child that resulted in death and injury.
