JAKARTA - Bharada's lawyer Richard Eliezer Pudihang Lumi alias Bharada E, Ronny Talapessy has proposed a psychologist. The aim was to convince the special team investigator (timsus) that his client had no desire to shoot Brigadier J.

"I will propose a psychologist for Bharada RE, the investigators have accepted it," Ronny told reporters, Monday, August 15.

The presence of that expert to strengthen Bharada E had no malicious intent or mensrea behind the shooting.

Allegedly, his client shot Brigadier J because of pressure. Because it was confirmed by the lawyer, Bharada E was not involved in planning the murder.

"There was no intention of our brother, our younger brother RE, to commit a crime or murder, here it is clear that he was not part of the planning," he said.

Apart from that, Ronny appreciates LPSK's move to grant justice collaborator to Bharada E. So, it is hoped that his client will be free from the snares of the law.

"In my opinion, this way of justice is increasingly open to our clients. We hope this is a good point so we hope that Bharada E can be released," said Ronny.

For information, Bharada E has been named as one of the suspects in the murder case against Brigadier J. He is said to have been involved in shooting the series of murders.

Ttimsus also named three other suspects, namely Inspector General Ferdy Sambo, Bripka RR, Strong M.

The suspects were charged with Article 340 subsidiary Article 338 of the Criminal Code in conjunction with Article 55 paragraph (1) and Article 56 of the Criminal Code.
