JAKARTA - Defendant Ricky Rizal said Ferdy Sambo ordered him to shoot Brigadier J. The order was conveyed by the former Head of the Propam Division during the planning process at Saguling's house, Duren Tiga, South Jakarta.

The testimony began when Ricky Rizal told of the moment that Ferdy Sambo called him to the third floor of Saguling's house.

At the beginning of the conversation, the former National Police official questioned him about the alleged sexual harassment carried out by Brigadier J.

"I sat there and asked what happened in Magelang. I said I didn't know, then you kept quiet, suddenly you cried with a very emotional appearance. Continue to say that you have been harassed by Yosua," Ricky said at the trial at the South Jakarta District Court (PN Jaksel), Monday, January 9.

Then, Ricky firmly said that Ferdy Sambo asked him to shoot Brigadier J. It's just that, at that time he couldn't believe it.

"Then he said he wanted to call Yosua. I was asked to backup and secure, 'You backup me, I will secure me, if he fights you dare not shoot him'. After that I answered, I don't dare, sir, I'm not mentally strong," he said.

Hearing the story, Chief Judge Wahyu Iman Santoso confirmed the order from Ferdy Sambo. Then, Ricky firmly said he was asked to shoot.

"That means the defendant Ferdy Sambo, if he fights you dare to shoot him or not?" asked the judge.

"That's right Yang Nulia," said Ricky.

"That's the limit? Don't you beat it?" the judge asserted.

"That's right, Your Honor. There is no sentence of beating him up," said Ricky.

"But shoot?" asked the judge again.

"If he fights you dare not shoot him. If he fights," said Ricky.
