JAKARTA - President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) has ordered the National Police Chief General Pol. Listyo Sigit Prabowo to oversee the murder case of Vina and her male friend, Muhammad Rizky or Eky in Cirebon, who was guarded openly and transparently.
President Jokowi responded to the media crew's question regarding the viral Vina murder case in Cirebon.
"Ask the National Police Chief. I have conveyed that the case is really guarded and transparent, everything is open," said President Jokowi after visiting Lawang Agung Market, Musi Rawas Regency, South Sumatra, Thursday, May 30.
The President asked that nothing needs to be covered up against the legal process of Vina's case.
"There is nothing to cover up. If anything," President Jokowi added.
The murder case of Vina Cirebon entered a new phase after one of the three suspects was arrested by the West Java Regional Police along with the Directorate of General Crimes (Dittipidum) of the Criminal Investigation Unit of the Police, after eight years of fugitives.
The perpetrator who was arrested had the initials Pegi Setiawan alias Perong, who was suspected of being the mastermind behind Vina's murder and rape.
The murder and rape of Vina took place in August 2016. The Cirebon teenager was murdered with his girlfriend, Muhammad Rizky.
At that time, there were 11 perpetrators involved in the tragic incident. However, only eight suspects were arrested and prosecuted, until they were convicted. The other three suspects are still at large today.
