Early Murder Of Sera, Prosecutors Will File Cassation After Defendant Ronald Tannur Is Sentenced To Free

The police have reconstructed the case of abuse with the suspect Gregorius Ronald Tannur (ANTARA).

JAKARTA - The Public Prosecutor (JPU) will file an appeal against the decision of the Surabaya District Court regarding the acquittal against Gregorius Ronald Tannur in the alleged murder case of Dini Sera Afriyanti.

The Head of the Attorney General's Office, Harli Siregar, said that the reason for filing the appeal was because the judge's decision was deemed inappropriate.

"So indeed we have to appeal it, because looking at the facts of the trial and the judge's considerations seem inappropriate," Harli told reporters, Thursday, July 25.

According to him, several considerations by the panel of judges, one of which was that none of the witnesses saw the incident felt strange.

Moreover, the evidence that had been submitted in court such as CCTV footage showed Gregorius Ronald Tannur crossing Dini Sera Afriyanti's car.

"So all the facts that have been submitted, for example CCTV, that the evidence ran over the victim, while the judge looked more at the absence of witnesses," he said.

"The consideration is too vague and does not look at the facts in the field and those proposed by the prosecutor. So we did state an appeal," continued Harli.

Then, regarding other considerations, the death of Dini Sera Afriyanti as a result of drinking alcoholic beverages was considered strange. Because, Harli said of course there was another trigger that caused the victim to die.

"What alcohol can make people die? There must be triggered by others. The name of the person was run over, for example he had drunk alcohol but what we charge about ran over him. Killing him," said Harli.

For information, the Panel of Judges at the Surabaya District Court, East Java, acquitted the defendant Gregorius Ronald Tannur in the murder case of Dini Sera Afriyanti (29) at a nightclub in Surabaya on October 4, 2023.

Chief Justice Erintuah Damanik stated that Ronald was not legally and convincingly proven to have committed murder or mistreatment that resulted in the death toll.

"The defendant was not legally and convincingly proven as in the first indictment of Article 338 of the Criminal Code or the second Article 351 paragraph (3) of the Criminal Code Or the third Article 359 of the Criminal Code and 351 paragraph (1) of the Criminal Code," said Judge Erintuah.
