SEMARANG - The Semarang District Court (PN) sentenced Donny Christiawan Eko Wahyudi to life in prison, the accused of the murder of a mother and child, Sweetha Kusuma Subardiya and MFA (4) whose bodies were dumped at KM 425 of the Semarang-Solo toll road.

The verdict read by Chief Judge Gatot Sarwadi during a trial at the Semarang District Court, Wednesday, was the same as the prosecutor's demands.

In addition to corporal punishment, the judge also imposed a fine of Rp. 1.5 billion which if not paid, would be replaced with imprisonment for 10 months.

"Declaring that the defendant is proven to have committed premeditated murder and violence against children causing death," he said in a trial attended by the defendant Donny Christiawan online, Wednesday, October 26, quoted from Antara.

The judge stated that the defendant was found guilty of violating Article 340 of the Criminal Code concerning murder and Law Number 35 of 2014 concerning child protection.

According to him, the defendant was proven to have abused the 4-year-old MFA at his home in Rembang Regency until he died in February 2022.

"After the victim died, instead of being informed to his mother or burying him, he dumped him on the Semarang-Solo toll road," he said.

This, he said, caused deep sorrow for the Sweetha Kusuma Subardiya family.

In his consideration, the judge stated that the defendant's act that killed the mother and child was an inhuman act.

The judge also stated that there was nothing to relieve the defendant in this case so that it was appropriate and fair if he was sentenced to the maximum sentence.

Based on this decision, both the defendant and the public prosecutor both expressed their thoughts.

Sweetha Kusuma Subardiya and her son, MFA, were killed by Donny Christiawan at different times and places.

The victim MFA died in February 2022 after being persecuted by the defendant Donny, who is a close friend of Sweetha.

Meanwhile Sweetha was killed by Donny in March 2022 while staying at a hotel in Semarang. The victim was killed after the defendant got emotional because he always asked where his son was.

The victim MFA herself was treated by the defendant at her house in Rembang on the grounds of being treated for growth delays. The bodies of both were dumped by the defendant at KM 425 of the Semarang-Solo toll road.
