JAKARTA - Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs Mahfud MD is sure that the Criminal Investigation Unit of the Police will investigate the motive for the murder of Brigadier Yosua Hutabarat alias Brigadier J with the main suspect being Inspector General Ferdy Sambo. But Mahfud MD said the motive for the murder was sensitive.

"The legal issue will be constructed later because it is sensitive, maybe only adults should hear it. Let the motives be constructed later,” said Mahfud MD at a press conference, Tuesday, August 9.

Mahfud emphasized that the government through the Coordinating Ministry for Political, Legal and Security Affairs would continue to oversee the investigation into the death of Brigadier Yoshua Hutabarat or Brigadier J until it was completed.

"The government through the Coordinating Ministry for Political, Legal and Security Affairs will continue to oversee this case," he said.

After escorting the determination of the suspects, he said, the government through the Coordinating Ministry for Political, Legal and Security Affairs would escort the Prosecutor's Office in building legal construction, then brought them to court with serious charges and prosecutions.

"Hopefully it won't take too long and it will be brought to court with serious charges and prosecutions," said Mahfud.

In addition, the Head of Kompolnas also stated that his party would encourage the Prosecutor's Office to have the same enthusiasm as the Police in taking professional action in the case of Brigadier J's death.

"The prosecutor must be really professional in handling this case with a strong legal construction, so that it will be easier for the court and the public to understand this case as an effort to enforce law and justice," continued Mahfud.

In the case of the shooting of Brigadier J, there were a total of 4 suspects, namely Bharada E, Brigadier RR, K, and Inspector General Ferdy Sambo. Ferdy Sambo allegedly gave orders related to the shooting of Brigadier J.

Inspector General Ferdy Sambo allegedly used a firearm belonging to Brigadier Yosua Hutabarat alias Brigadier J to shoot at the wall several times. The shooting at the wall with Brigadier J's pistol was carried out to make it appear as if a shootout took place, aka a shootout, as was the initial report at the South Jakarta Metro Police.

"That there is no fact of shooting incident as reported, I repeat that there is no fact of shooting incident as reported earlier," said the National Police Chief in Jakarta, Tuesday, August 9.

The National Police's Bareskrim Team, according to the National Police Chief, found that what actually happened was the shooting of Brigadier J to death.

"What RE (Bharada E) did was the orders of brother FS (Ferdy Sambo)," said the National Police Chief.

Inspector General Ferdy Sambo is suspected of fabricating the shooting case of Brigadier J by deliberately using Brigadier J's firearm to shoot at the wall.

“To make it look as if a gunfight had taken place, brother FS shot Brother J's gun against the wall several times to make it appear as if a shootout took place.

"Regarding whether FS ordered or was directly involved in the shooting, the team is currently investigating witnesses and related parties," said the National Police Chief.
