JAKARTA - The Panel of Judges at the Surabaya District Court acquitted Gregorius Ronald Tannur in the alleged murder case of Dini Sera Afriyanti. The Attorney General's Office (AGO) considers the considerations behind the decision to be very vague.

In the verdict, there were several considerations. First, there were no witnesses who stated the cause of death of Dini Sera Afriyanti.

In fact, in the trial, the Public Prosecutor (JPU) included CCTV footage showing Gregorius Ronald Tannur crossing Dini Sera Afriyanti with a car.

"So the consideration is too vague and does not look at the facts in the field and those submitted by the prosecutor," said Head of the AGO, Harli Siregar to reporters, Thursday, July 25.

Even with the second consideration, namely the death of Dini Sera Afriyanti as a result of alcohol in her stomach. It is said, it feels very confusing because the panel of judges should be able to see from the other side such as the trigger that caused the victim to die.

"This means that alcohol can make people die? There must be triggered by others. The name of the person was run over, for example he had been drinking alcohol but what we were accused of was crossing him. Killing him," he said.

"In fact, in our opinion, the judge only considered the death of the victim just because the alcohol effect was very fluid," continued Harli.

Then, regarding Gregorius Ronald Tannur's efforts to save Dini Sera Afriyanti by giving her artificial breath.

Harli assessed that this was just an alibi to obscure the crime that had been committed. However, in this case, it appears that Gregorius Ronald Tannur has had malicious intentions or mens rea by crossing Dini Sera Afriyanti.

"It's very strange. It means that if the perpetrator has run over, the perpetrator has mistreated him, maybe he did that as his alibi," 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.
