JAKARTA - Pegi Setiawan's camp highlighted a statement from the West Java High Prosecutor's Office regarding the incompleteness of elements in the case file for the alleged murder of Vina and Eky.

Toni RM, Pegi Setiawan's attorney, stated that this shows that investigators have not been able to prove that their client was involved in the alleged murder case.

"The limit is that the evidence has not fulfilled the elements, meaning that the evidence attached by the West Java Police investigators, the evidence that has not fulfilled the elements towards Pegi Setiawan is the perpetrator of the murder, this is very serious," said Toni to VOI, Thursday, June 27.

Generally, Toni continued, in returning the case file, the prosecutor would convey that there was a shortage only of testimony from witnesses or experts.

However, the elements suspected by the investigative team have been fulfilled with other evidence.

"If that's the case, it means that the evidence is sufficient," he said.

On that basis, Toni believes that Pegi Setiawan is not the Perong referred to in the court's decision on the 2016 murder of Vina and Eky.

"We are sure that West Java Police investigators will not be able to complete the evidence because there is no evidence," said Toni.

The West Java High Prosecutor's Office has returned the case file for Pegi Setiawan, the main suspect in the Vina murder case, to investigators from the West Java Police Special Criminal Investigation Directorate, Thursday, June 27.

Head of Legal Information for the West Java Prosecutor's Office, Nur Sricahyawija, said that one of the shortcomings of the case file, Pegi Setiawan, was related to the evidence and facts of files that needed to be completed by investigators.

"The file is still incomplete. There are material and formal shortcomings related to evidence and the fact that the file still does not meet the elements," said Cahya.
