JAKARTA - Jhon Kei will undergo an indictment trial for murder and maltreatment at the West Jakarta District Court (PN) on Wednesday, January 13, 2021.

"The Panel of Judges sets a trial for Wednesday, January 13, 2021," said West Jakarta District Court spokesman Eko Aryanto in Jakarta, as reported by Antara, Monday, January 4.

Eko said the Panel of Judges appointed to hold the trial of the John Kei case consisted of Yulisar, SH.MH, Eko Aryanto SH. MH and Kamaluddin, SH. MH.

Meanwhile, Eko confirmed that the case file on behalf of John Kei had been transferred by the West Jakarta District Prosecutor's Office to the West Jakarta District Court on December 30, 2020. The case file consisted of five files.

Previously, Head of the Legal Information Section (Kasipenkum) of the DKI Jakarta High Prosecutor's Office, Nirwan Nawawi, said that John Kei would be handed over to the West Jakarta District Prosecutor's Office for further legal proceedings.

The West Jakarta Prosecutor's Office transferred the case through the DKI High Prosecutor's Office because the suspects committed a crime in the Duri Kosambi area, West Jakarta.

The articles suspected of being against John Kei and other suspects include Article 340 of the Criminal Code regarding premeditated murder, Article 338 of the Criminal Code concerning murder and Article 170 of the Criminal Code concerning beatings causing the victim to die and possession of firearms and sharp weapons.

John Kei and 38 of his men were arrested by the Polda Metro Jaya due to the alleged destruction of Nus Kei's house in Tangerang and the beating that resulted in the death of a man with the initials ER.

In the series of cases, Polda Metro Jaya has secured 39 suspects and eight other people are still in pursuit of officers.

By submitting John Kei to the Prosecutor's Office, all the suspects along with their evidence have been submitted to the prosecutor for immediate trial.
