JAKARTA - The convict in the murder case of Ryan Jombang was involved in a dispute with another inmate, Bahar bin Smith, at the Class IIA Special Penitentiary (Lapas) Gunung Sindur, Bogor.

The dispute between the two is said to have been resolved amicably. However, not long after that, an attempt was made to clear the aftermath of the dispute.

Ryan's lawyer, Benny Daga, said that his party had coordinated with the Criminal Investigation Unit of the Police. They will report Bahar bin Smith on suspicion of molestation.

"Today we come to the Criminal Investigation Unit, we bring our existing evidence, we show it to our fellow investigators, the SPKT Bareskrim Polri Headquarters," said Benny to reporters, Thursday, August 19.

However, the report was delayed. Because, after consulting the Criminal Investigation Department suggested to complete the evidence so that the report can be accepted.

"Then friends from the Criminal Investigation Unit at the National Police Headquarters suggested that we add some more evidence. Later, after we return home, we will discuss with Rian what additional evidence looks like," said Benny.

"If the additional evidence, as recommended by Bareskrim friends, is completed, we will come and submit it so that the process can continue," he continued.

So far, some of the evidence attached is a photo of Ryan's condition after the dispute. Where, his face is called full of wounds.

"(Evidence) Photos, video recordings. The photo has a photo of his face (Ryan) which is gone. Then his hands are scarred," said Benny.

Battered and Cuts

Benny said that this sentencing effort was because his client was seriously injured as a result of the dispute. Because, found incision scars on Ryan's body.

"So his face was battered and there were cuts on his hands," said Benny.

In addition, the alleged abuse against his client began when he went to the mosque. At that time, Ryan was called by prison officers. It turned out that there were already quite a lot of people and they immediately persecuted him.

"When our client, Ryan, was about to go to the mosque to pray, he was called by the prison officer. When we came to the front, it turned out that as soon as our client came forward, apparently there was already a large crowd in front," said Benny.

"According to the confession of our client, Rian, Habib Bahar also did that (persecution)," he continued.

With the condition full of wounds, continued Benny, his client is currently still being treated at the clinic in the prison. The situation is now starting to improve.

"He was treated at the prison clinic," said Benny.

In fact, behind the alleged persecution, there is another problem, namely the alleged mobilization of the masses. Because, his client was not only persecuted by Bahar bin Smith but many people.

The mob is said to be not inmates or convicts of the Class IIA Special Penitentiary (Lapas) Gunung Sindur, Bogor

"Regarding the mass mobilization, we don't know how many. But according to our client's statement, it's quite a number," said Benny

According to him, this crowd had created a riot. They are looking for Ryan Jombang.

"People from outside came in, entered the prison and then ransacked inside the prison to try to attack our clients," said Benny.

The existence of the outsider continued Benny, based on information from his client. Ryan Jombang is believed by the lawyer to know and be able to distinguish between inmates or not.

"Directly from Ryan's (confession) because Ryan is an inmate in prison, of course he knows that anyone is inside the prison and it's a resident from outside," said Benny.
