Unpatti Ambon Student Killer Sentenced To 15 Years In Prison

The main perpetrator of the criminal act of persecution which caused a student of the Faculty of Engineering, Unpatti Ambon to die, was sentenced to 15 years in prison by a panel of judges at the Ambon / Antara District Court.

JAKARTA - The Ambon District Court's Panel of Judges sentenced Erwin Nakul (31) to 15 years in prison, the main suspect in the persecution case that resulted in the death of a Pattimura University Ambon student Husein Suat.

"To declare the defendant legally and convincingly proven guilty of violating Article 338 in conjunction with Article 55 paragraph (1) 1 of the Criminal Code and sentencing to a prison sentence of 15 years", said Chief Justice Wilson Shriver in Ambon, as reported by Antara, Tuesday, April 24.

During the trial, the panel of judges also sentenced Bakri Mahu (23) and Rian Kaimudin (19) who participated in this criminal offense, resulting in the victim's death.

The things that incriminated the defendants were sentenced to prison because their actions caused Husein Suat to die at Red and White Bridge in the Poka Village area of Ambon City on Thursday, February 11, 2021, at dawn.

Meanwhile, the mitigating factor was that the defendants were polite and acknowledged and regretted their actions and had never been convicted.

The verdict of the panel of judges for Erwin Nakul as the main suspect is the same as the demands of the Ambon District Prosecutor's General Prosecutor, Eko Nugraha.

Meanwhile, the decision of the panel of judges for the defendants Bakri and Rian was not the same as the prosecutor's demands, which in the previous trial asked them to be sentenced to 14 years in prison.

However, the defendants, through their legal adviser, Siska Louhenapessy, stated that they were still thinking so that the panel of judges allowed them to state their position for seven days.

The criminal act of maltreatment that killed a student of the Faculty of Engineering, Pattimura University Ambon, involved six defendants, three of whom were minors and had been variously convicted by the Juvenile Court Judge at the Ambon District Court in March 2021.
