JAKARTA - The family lawyer for Brigadier J, Kamaruddin Simanjuntak, said that the National Police's decision not to detain Putri Chandrawathi for several reasons, one of whom has a small child. According to him, Putri must be detained because she is considered to have lied a lot, especially regarding the alleged abuse. Because, Inspector General Fedy Sambo's wife said the harassment occurred at the Duren Tiga official residence. However, it turned into Magelang. "Because PCs always lie, I don't agree that he is not detained, he should be detained," said Kamaruddin when confirmed, Saturday, September 4. In addition, regarding the consideration that investigators did not detain Putri due to having a 1.5-year-old child, Kamaruddin also thought it was very good Especially if applied in all handling criminal cases. Because, according to him, there are still many mothers who have babies who are still detained or have to languish behind bars. "If this is applied to everyone, it's good but what about other women who are detained even though their babies are sometimes still in the womb or have just been born? Do the same treatment apply to other women? When it doesn't apply, it's injustice," said Kamaruddin. Putri Chandrawathi is one of five suspects in the murder case of Brigadier J. However, along with the process of handling the case, only she was not detained. The investigator's consideration was that no arrests were made because he had a child who was still 1.5 years old. So, it is considered that they still need the love of their parents. Meanwhile, in this case Putri is suspected of under Article 340 subsidiary Article 338 of the Criminal Code in conjunction with Article 55 paragraph (1) and Article 56 of the Criminal Code.
