The panel of judges will decide the appropriate sanctions for the defendant Strong Ma'ruf in the alleged murder case against Yosua alias Brigadier J. It is planned that the trial with the agenda of reading the verdict will be held to coincide with Valentine's Day.

Meanwhile, Valentine's Day falls on February 14.

"We have postponed the trial until Tuesday, February 14 to read the verdict of the defendant Strong Ma'ruf," said Chief Justice Wahyu Iman Santoso during a trial at the South Jakarta District Court, Tuesday, January 31.

In this case, Strong Ma'ruf was sentenced to 8 years in prison in the murder case of Brigadier J. Because he was considered involved in a series of murders.

His involvement was by closing the door of the balcony. This action was deemed to reduce the sound of gunfire so as not to be heard by local residents.

Moreover, the prosecutor assessed that the giving of the iPhone and envelope containing money from Ferdy Sambo to Strong Ma'ruf was one of the things that proved his involvement.

This is because the cellphone is considered in exchange for supporting the scenario made by Ferdy Sambo for the cause of Yosua alias Brigadier J's death.

"That to see whether there is cooperation that is realized between perpetrators can also be seen from the events after the crime was committed, one of which can be seen the fact that giving or giving gifts to the participants as their wages," said the prosecutor.

With this role, the prosecutor believes that Ma'ruf's Strong actions are considered to meet the elements of Article 340 in conjunction with Article 55 paragraph (1) of the 1st Criminal Code.
