JAKARTA - The defendant in the unlawful killing of FPI members, Police Brigadier One (Briptu) Fikri Ramadhan admitted that a shootout with FPI Laskars in 2020 was his first experience while serving as a police officer.
"I have never (before shooting, ed.) Your Honor. This is the first time," said Brigadier Fikri during a hearing on the agenda of examining defendants at the South Jakarta District Court, Jakarta, Antara, Wednesday, February 2.
The member judge at the trial, Elfian, continued to ask about Brigadier Fikri's mental condition after a shootout occurred between the police and the FPI Laskar. "Chaos, very chaotic," said Fikri in answer to Elfian's question.
Six FPI members and a number of police were involved in a shootout on Jalan Simpang Susun Karawang Barat on December 7, 2020. The incident occurred when the police were monitoring six FPI members from a housing complex in Sentul to the Cikampek Toll Road.
Fikri during the trial said that before the shootout, the FPI had attacked the police car. The police also fired warning shots. However, the attacks continued. As a result, a shootout occurred and two FPI members, namely Luthfi Hakim (25) and Andi Oktiawan (33) were killed.
Both were found dead when the police stopped a car belonging to the FPI at Rest Area KM 50 Toll Cikampek. Two FPI members who died were evacuated to the Kramat Jati Police Hospital, Jakarta.
In the Rest Area, four other FPI members who were in the same car with Luthfi and Andi were also searched. Police found homemade firearms and sharp weapons.
The four FPI members were then transported in a police Xenia car to the Metro Jaya Police Headquarters, Jakarta.
In the car, Fikri explained that the shooting incident continued after one of the FPI members attacked and tried to grab the officer's weapon. Fikri admitted that he was strangled, grabbed, and grabbed by the hands of FPI members.
In the struggle to maintain their weapons and save themselves, two police officers, namely Second Police Inspector Elwira Priadi and First Brigadier Fikri shot an FPI member.
Four FPI members, namely Muhammad Reza (20), Ahmad Sofyan alias Ambon (26 years), Faiz Ahmad Syukur (22), and Muhammad Suci Khadavi (21), were shot and killed in the Xenia car belonging to the police.
