JAKARTA - Kamaruddin Simanjuntak, family lawyer of Brigadier Yosua Hutabarat or Brigadier J asked the Police to immediately arrest and detain Putri Candrawathi. The reason is that the wife of Inspector General Ferdy Sambo is feared to run away.

"They should have been arrested immediately, so as not to lose the evidence," said Brigadier J's family lawyer, Kamaruddin Simanjuntak when contacted, Monday, August 22.

If the police do not immediately arrest him on the grounds that Putri Candrawati is still sick, said Kamaruddin, it is feared that Ferdy Sambo's wife may have lost evidence.

At least the Police are asked to take steps to coordinate with Immigration to issue a prevent (block) status.

"It should be banned," he said.

Another reason put forward by Kamaruddin Simanjuntak was that the Police had to arrest Putri Candrawathi because the maximum punishment for her punishment was death or 20 years in prison. This criminal threat is related to the suspicion of Article 340 subsidiary to Article 338 of the Criminal Code

Putri Candrawathi has also been named a suspect in the murder case of Brigadier Yosua Hutabarat or Brigadier J. However, the wife of Inspector General Ferdy Sambo has not been arrested and detained.

The reason was that during the examination process, Putri Candrawati had included a sick letter and asked for time to recover her condition.

"Ms PC should have been checked yesterday, but because there was a sick letter, she was detained," he said.

Therefore, investigators will continue to coordinate with the team of doctors to later make arrests and detentions.

"We will continue to coordinate with doctors," said Irwasum Komjen Agung Budi Maryoto.
