JAKARTA - The Ministry of Law and Human Rights is in the process of revoking the parole of John Refra alias John Kei. This is because John was involved in the criminal act of assault and vandalism.

Rika Aprianti, Head of Public Relations and Protocol at the Directorate General of Corrections at the Ministry of Law and Human Rights, said the Bogor Correctional Center (Bapas) had coordinated with the Polda Metro Jaya Unit Jatanras regarding the latest case against John Kei.

After the information from the police and John Kei was obtained, the trial of the Bogor Bapas Correctional Observation Team held a trial on 25 June. There are two things that were agreed upon from this trial. First, the team decided John Kei had violated the terms of parole because he was named a suspect.

"(The team) recommended the revocation of John Kei's parole decree," Rika said in a written statement, Saturday, June 27.

On this recommendation, the Head of Bogor Bapas then issued a decision letter to revoke John Kei's parole and proposed it to the Directorate General of Corrections at the Ministry of Law and Human Rights.

Rika said the letter was currently in process. "We are currently waiting for the process of revoking the parole from the Directorate General of Corrections," he said.

Previously, John Refra Kei alias John Kei was suspected of being the mastermind of the criminal offense against Yustus Corwing Rahakbau, Nus Kei's subordinate. This will impact on the parole status received by John Kei.

As for the granting of parole to John Kei in December 2019, for various reasons. The parole is based on the decree of the Minister of Law and Human Rights of the Republic of Indonesia Number: Pas-1502.PK.01.04.06 of 2019 dated 23 December 2019.

Currently, police investigators are continuing to dig up information from John Kei regarding the case of mistreatment and house destruction, until one victim dies. The police suspect that there is another motive behind the attack.

However, from the results of the examination that had been carried out, John Kei admitted that there was no other motive. John Kei told investigator that the reason for the attack was due to the problem of unequal distribution of assets.

"Actually, this is a personal matter that the results of John Kei's examination, he admits felt betrayed by Nus Kei. One of them is the problem of money or land, there are still several other (motives, ed) that John Kei has not disclosed, only he said that every time he was asked I was betrayed by Nus Kei, "said Head of Public Relations of Polda Metro Jaya, Kombes Yusri Yunus in Jakarta, Tuesday, June 23.

According to him, Nus Kei had actually discussed this issue with John Kei via a short message. From here Nus Kei asked for a solution to the problem without involving other people or group members from them.

However, John Kei never responded to Nus Kei's words. Thus, the problem also led to cases of persecution and vandalism.

"Actually, it's been quite a while, but in their chat, this is still a matter for both of them, if you can meet together don't bring another group of friends, don't involve others, just two of them, but not responded to, even WA never replied, so this is what happened, "said Yusri.
