The atmosphere of the trial proves the murder case of Brigadier Nurhadi with the agenda of examining the first witness who presented three witnesses from the family of the deceased at the Mataram District Court, NTB, Monday (1/12/2025). ANTARA/Dhimas B.P.

JAKARTA - The public prosecutor (JPU) in the trial proved that the chat message or chat on the personal cell phone (HP) belonging to Brigadier Muhammad Nurhadi was deleted.

The trial was held at the Mataram District Court (PN) in the case of the death of Brigadier Muhammad Nurhadi at Villa Tekek, Gili Trawangan, North Lombok.

"According to what was conveyed earlier, it turns out that on Brigadier Nurhadi's cellphone everything has been deleted, including the recovery data is clean," said Ahmad Budi Muklish representing the prosecutor's team after the trial of evidence presenting witnesses from the family of the late Brigadier Nurhadi, Monday, confiscated by Antara.

This was revealed by the prosecutor according to the contents of the indictments belonging to the two defendants, namely Kompol I Made Yogi Purusa Utama and Ipda I Gde Aris Chandra Widianto, who have now officially dismissed members of the National Police.

"That's why in the indictment there is Article 221 of the Criminal Code (obstruction of justice)," he said.

The prosecutor explained this while attending the trial process with witness Elma Agustina, the wife of the deceased.

Elma at that time explained that there was a snippet of a chat message between her husband and Aris Chandra before going to Gili Trawangan.

The message that was conveyed by the deceased before he died was allegedly Elma as a serious threat.

In the indictment, not only did chat messages on the deceased's deleted cellphone, the data on the laptop was also revealed.

The disappearance of the deceased's electronic data is still a mystery. There are allegations that the electronic data was lost when the police confiscated it as evidence.

Regarding the relationship between the motive for the murder of Brigadier Nurhadi, Budi Muklish chose not to comment further. He invited this to be seen in the facts of the next trial.

In this first trial of evidence, the prosecutor presented three people from the family of the deceased, one of whom was Elma Agustina. Two other witnesses were Elma's biological father, Sukarmidi and the deceased's older brother, Dewi.

Elma was present as the first witness in the trial. He was present to testify accompanied by a team from the Witness and Victim Protection Agency (LPSK).

At the trial, Elma through LPSK also submitted a restitution application document with a value of Rp771 million.
