"The family asks Bharada E to be given leniency in his sentence," said Brigadier family lawyer Martin Lukas Simanjuntak when confirmed, Wednesday, January 18.

The reason behind the request for mild litigation for Bharada E was that he was acting on Ferdy Sambo's orders. Moreover, he could not refuse because of the very large difference in rank.

"For the sake of justice for the victims and their families and the Indonesian people, the families hope for maximum demands," said Martin.

In this case, Putri Candrawathi was charged with being involved in the series of murders of Brigadier J. She is said to have not prevented her husband's plan and reported it to law enforcement officials. In fact, he knew of the plan and murder of Brigadier J.

Meanwhile, Bharada E was charged with shooting Brigadier J with a Glock-17 rifle three to four times. The shooting took place at the official residence of the Police Complex, Duren Tiga, South Jakarta, on 8 July.

Then, before the shooting, Bharada E also participated in the planning. Because he agreed to Ferdy Sambo's order to execute Brigadier J.

With their respective roles, Putri Candrawathi and Bharada E allegedly violated Article 340 of the Criminal Code subsidiary 338 of the Criminal Code in conjunction with Article 55 paragraph 1 to (1). Thus, they face a maximum sentence of death penalty, life imprisonment or a maximum of 20 years.
