JAKARTA - The forensic medical team said there were five incoming and four outgoing gunshot wounds on Brigadier J's body. From the examination, it was found that one projectile was still lodged in the spine.

"What's lodged is in the spine," said Team Leader Forensic Doctor Ade Firmansyah to reporters, Monday, August 22.

From a series of examinations, only gunshot wounds were found. This means that there are no injuries caused by acts of abuse such as beatings and so on.

"There is no violence other than gun violence," he said.

When asked about the differences in the results of the first and second autopsies, Ade was reluctant to explain. He said this would be proven in court.

"So if there is a difference or not, of course we will see it together when we compare in court from the first expert, who did the first autopsy, even though we did the re-autopsy," said Ade.

Previously, Brigadier J's re-autopsy process took place at Sungai Bahar Hospital, Jambi on July 27. The re-autopsy was a request from the family to believe that there were irregularities in the cause of Brigadier J's death.

In that case, the team named five suspects. The four suspects are Inspector General Ferdy Sambo, Bharada Richard Eliezer, Bripka Ricky Rizal, and Strong Maruf.

Most recently, the Timsus also named Putri Candrawati, the wife of Ferdy Sambo, as the fifth suspect.

They 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.
