JAKARTA - The police are still developing the case of abuse and vandalism committed by the John Kei group. Because, there are dozens of names that are still wanted by the police for this case.

Only one person turned himself in to the police. The man with the initials SR alias Teco surrendered to the Depok Police. He came to the police station accompanied by his family.

Head of the Criminal Investigation Unit of the Depok Metro Police, Kompol Wadi Sabani said that initially his party did not know about the case involving SR. After being investigated, it was discovered that SR was John Kei's subordinate who was involved in the attack on the Nus Kei group.

"After we examined the person concerned, the problem or busy case in Jakarta was related to his group or Kei's family," Wadi said in his statement, Wednesday, June 25.

According to Wadi, SR in the attack was one of the perpetrators who tortured Nus Kei's subordinates, Yustus, until he died.

"From the results of our interviews or interrogations, the person concerned admitted that he was involved in the incident that occurred on Sunday in the Jakarta area," said Wadi.

However, unfortunately Wadi did not tell further about the role of SR. The reason is because the authority rests with the Polda Metro Jaya investigators who handle the case.

Reason to surrender

According to Wadi, SR decided to surrender because of his fear of being attacked by the Nus Kei group. Especially if the attack was aimed at his family. "So he decided to surrender," said Wadi.

However, there are other reasons for SR surrendering. Criminologist at the University of Indonesia, Josias Simon, said there were three reasons or reasons for John Kei's men to surrender.

The first is related to the disclosure of the mastermind behind the case. So, if SR doesn't turn himself in, it only takes time to catch him. This is because the identities of all the perpetrators have been pocketed by the police.

The second is related to the investigation process. By surrendering oneself, the legal process will run quickly and no longer need to be on the run.

"The rational choice is to surrender because it is clear that the case cannot be hidden. Then, make it easier to disclose so that the legal process (investigation, ed) runs rather than being a fugitive," said Simon.

Third, continued Simon, the SR perpetrator considered Nus Kei's statement who chose the peaceful path, even though his family had been attacked. So, by referring to this, SR hopes that no bad things will happen in the future. "Nus Kei's statement wants to get along as a reference for my subordinates," said Simon.

In addition, Al Azhar University Criminal Law Expert, Suparji Ahmad said, SR's surrender to the police could also be interpreted as a form of loyal friend or loyalty to a group. Moreover, the figure of the group leader had already been caught.

"A sense of friend's loyalty or loyalty can also influence the surrender. Maybe there is an oath of loyalty between them," said Suparji.
