Next Week, Audy Item Becomes A Witness In The Iko Uwais Beating Case

JAKARTA - The investigation into the alleged case of beating Iko Uwais as the reported person continues. Recently, the police are planning to examine Audi Item as Iko Uwais' wife as an additional witness.

"We will check (Audi Item, ed) maybe on Monday," said Head of Bekasi Metro Police, Kombes Hengki, to reporters, Saturday, June 18.

Investigators consider Audi's statement to be quite important because he was at the scene at the time of the alleged beating against Rudi.

Moreover, Audi's name was also mentioned during the examination process of Iko Uwais.

On this basis, investigators decided to ask for his information. Thus, the common thread behind the beatings can be found.

"He (Iko Uwais, ed) said there was another witness who saw the incident, namely his wife," he said.

After examining Audi, said Hengki, his party will hold a case. Investigators will determine whether or not the case can go up to the investigation stage.

"Later, we will finally examine one more witness and then we will conclude," said Hengki.

As is known, Iko Uwais and Firmansyah are suspected of beating Rudi, an interior designer hired by Iko. The commotion was triggered by debt problems. Iko is said to have not paid the remaining Rp. 150 million for interior design services.
