The panel of judges at the Denpasar District Court, Bali, sentenced the defendant Bastomi Prasetiawan (49) to 15 years in prison, the perpetrator of the murder of a man named I Kadek Parwata.
In a hearing to read the verdict at the Denpasar District Court, Tuesday, Chief Judge I Putu Agus Adi Antara stated that the defendant was legally and convincingly proven to have committed murder as the primary indictment of the Public Prosecutor in accordance with the provisions of Article 338 of the Criminal Code (KUHP) concerning murder.
The verdict is the same as the demands of the Public Prosecutor of the Denpasar District Attorney Harisdianto Saragih.
In addition to giving a 15-year prison sentence, in a separate case file, the defendant who was called Mas Pras was also sentenced to three years in prison for possession of sharp weapons.
The reading of the verdict was immediately after the decision related to the murder.
The verdict is two years lower than the prosecutor's demands.
In his charge, the Public Prosecutor asked the defendant Prasetiawan to be sentenced to five years in prison in the case of possession of a sharp weapon (Emergency Law). However, the judge was of other opinion that the defendant was sentenced to three years in prison.
Thus, the total sentence given to the defendant is 18 years.
The defendant Prasetiawan only fell silent after hearing the judge's decision.
After discussing with his legal advisor from Posbakum Peradi Denpasar, the defendant stated that he accepted the verdict.
Previously, the prosecutor's indictment stated that Mas Pras' series of cruel acts began when he rode a Honda Spacy motorcycle with the DK 6658 UBE plate across Jalan Nangka Utara, on February 13, 2025 at around 01.30 WITA.
The defendant was about to go to his boss's house on Jalan Antasura Denpasar. Then, he was overtaken by the victim witness Made Darma Wisesa. The defendant was emotional because he felt the young man was almost grazed him.
The man immediately chased Darma Wasesa. Arriving at the crime scene (TKP) in front of Warung Auna, Darma parked his motorbike with the intention of shopping. However, the defendant immediately hit the young man and beat him repeatedly.
In fact, in the prosecutor's indictment, Bastomi took out the knife he was carrying and was used to threaten. The shop owner named Ashuri also tried to intervene and resolve the dispute.
Bastomi continued his journey north to Jalan Antasura.
In the middle of the trip, the defendant was not satisfied, until he returned to Warung Auna. There, the shop owner was asked by the defendant Prasetiawan whether Darma's brother or not.
The shop owner immediately said no. When Bastomi was about to leave the scene, came the victim Kadek Parwata with his friend I Wayan Wawa Anggara.
Kadek Parwata continued to be interrogated by Prasetiawan until he finally took out a knife and stabbed the victim's ribs causing injuries. Even the victim who tried to stay away was chased by the defendant until he stabbed several times until the victim fell.
Even though the target was already lying down, Prasetiawan continued to approach and stand on top of the victim to stab again. Witness Wayan Wawa also came to kick the perpetrator's head until he fell.
Bastomi then stood up and chased Wawa while swinging a knife.
However, the swing did not touch and was rewarded with a kick by the witness. After that, the perpetrator turned again towards the victim who was still lying.
However, he was chased by Wawa and finally chose to run away on his motorbike. Kadek Parwata, who was covered in blood, was then taken to the Bakti Rahayu Hospital.
The victim immediately received treatment, but was declared dead. His body was referred to Prof. Dr. IGNG Ngoerah Hospital for a post-mortem.
The post-mortem results showed that there were open wounds caused by sharp violence and abrasions caused by blunt violence on the victim's body.
Because death is a stab wound to the left chest and left back that penetrates the lower left lung, causing bleeding in the left chest cavity.
The Prasetiawan perpetrator was also arrested by the Denpasar Police Satreskrim until he finally admitted his actions.
