Head of Public Relations of the West Java Regional Police, Kombes Jules Abraham Abbas, confirmed that the West Java Regional Police would attend the pretrial hearing of the suspects in the murder of Vina and Eky, Pegi Setiawan, Monday, June 1, 2024. It is known that the trial, which was actually held a week earlier, was postponed due to the absence of the West Java Regional Police.
"The legal team from the West Java Police will attend the pretrial hearing according to the predetermined schedule," said Jules at the West Java Police Headquarters, Monday, July 1.
The West Java District Court previously ensured that the trial for the pretrial of Pegi Setiawan would continue, even though it was not attended by the West Java Regional Police.
It is known, Pegi Setiawan filed a pretrial because he claimed that the determination of the suspect was not supported by clear evidence. Pegi Setiawan's attorney said that it should have been Pegi alias Perong, not Pegi Setiawan.
"We will prove that this is a wrong arrest or error in persona," said Pegi Setiawan's attorney, Toni RM in Cirebon, Friday last week.
On a separate occasion, the convict in Vina's murder case, Saka Tatal previously also claimed that the figure of Pegi Setiawan who was arrested was different from the photo of the police DPO.
"Two weeks ago, the police came to the house and showed a photo of a DPO. The photo is very different from the person who is being arrested now," he said.
The mystery of the 2016 murder of Vina and Eky is still not revealed. The police initially stated that Vina and Eky were victims of a traffic accident, not murder victims. However, the results of the autopsy and further investigation show signs of violence that require exhumation or dismantling of bodies on September 6, 10 days after burial.
