JAKARTA - The mother of Pegi Setiawan, Kartini, refuses to undergo forensic psychological examination by the West Java Police regarding the alleged murder case of Vina and Muhammad Rizky or Eky in Cirebon. Because, it is considered irrelevant. The refusal was conveyed by legal adviser to Pegi Setiawan, Toni RM. According to him, there is no connection between Kartini and the criminal act being investigated. "Yes, it is true that there is no relevance to criminal events," said Toni to VOI, Tuesday, June 11. It is said, if Pegi Setiawan was examined, of course the legal adviser would not refuse. Because, there is a clear basis even though it is still believed that Pegi was not the perpetrator of the murder. Therefore, the legal advisory team will write to investigators as a sign that the family rejects the pricology examination. "Today, Mrs. Kartini, but legal advisors conveyed their rejection in writing," said Toni. The West Java Regional Police plans to conduct a forensic psychological examination of witnesses and families of Pegi Setiawan. "Forensic psychological examinations were also carried out not only on the suspect PS but also on several witnesses, including forensic psychological examinations of the PS family," said Head of Public Relations of the West Java Police, Kombes Jules Abraham Abast. This forensic psychological examination was carried out at the request of investigators. The goal is to make clear the alleged murder case.

"We from the West Java Regional Police hope that the forensic psychological examination will further shed light on the ongoing criminal events and complement the ongoing investigation process," said Jules. Meanwhile, for forensic psychological examination of Pegi Setiawan, it is said that it was carried out on June 8 and 9, 2024 yesterday.
