MATARAM - Investigators from the General Criminal Investigation Directorate of the West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) Police have handed over a file of a robbery case in Central Lombok which went viral because two of the four perpetrators died at the hands of the victim, Amaq Sinta.

"Yes, the file is only phase one, we will hand it over to the prosecutor for investigation," said Director of Criminal Investigation at the NTB Police, Kombes Hari Brata, in Mataram, as reported by Antara, Friday, April 22.

In the case files of the two suspects with the initials W (22) and H (17), Kombes Hari said there were no changes or additions to the alleged criminal article.

"We are still using Article 365 of the Criminal Code regarding theft in conjunction with Article 53 of the Criminal Code on Criminal Trials," he said.

Regarding one of the suspects who is still a minor, Hari ensures that the handling will still refer to the juvenile justice system. "For the handling of the two suspects, it remains in the field of jatanras, but because one of them is a minor, we also use investigators who have competence in that field (the juvenile justice system)," he said.

Evidence that strengthens investigators to designate both of them as suspects is in the statements of three clue witnesses. From their statement, it was revealed that the two suspects had the intention of committing a crime along with two of their dead colleagues, the initials O and P.

In addition to the testimony of the clue witnesses, the investigators also confirmed evidence from the examination of the victim, Amaq Sinta, and the results of the investigation of the crime scene as well as the confiscation of evidence at the scene. There are also results from the analysis of the autopsy of the corpse, and coordination with criminal law experts.

Therefore, the police ensured that the evidence supporting the two perpetrators as suspects in the robbery case was in accordance with the investigation process in the field.
