Ferdy Sambo's Wife Putri Candrawathi Becomes Suspect In Brigadier J .'s Murder Case

JAKARTA - The special team (timsus) of the National Police has named the wife of Inspector General Ferdy Sambo, Putri Candrawati, as a suspect in the murder case of Brigadier Yosua Hutabarat or Brigadier J.

"Based on the results of the case, investigators have determined PC as a suspect," said Irwasum Polri Komjen Agung Budi Maryoto at a press conference, Friday, August 19.

The determination of the suspect against Ferdy Sambo's wife is supported by strong evidence. The National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo previously requested a scientific-based investigation into the death of Brigadier J.

With this determination, a total of five people have been named suspects.

Apart from Putri Candrawati, the other suspects include Inspector General Ferdy Sambo, Bharada Richard Eliezer, Bripka RR, Strong Maruf

The suspects were charged with Article 340 subsidiary Article 338 of the Criminal Code in conjunction with Article 55 paragraph (1) and Article 56 of the Criminal Code.

The determination of the suspect against Putri Candrawati is because it is strongly suspected that she had a role in the alleged premeditated murder case of Brigadier J. Because Putri Candrawati had made a report on allegations of sexual harassment.

The problem is, the results of the investigation by the Timsus show that there were no facts about the abuse that was reported.

The Director of General Crimes at the Bareskrim Brigadier General Andi Rian Djajadi said that based on the results of the case, the investigation was terminated.

In fact, the reporting was seen as an 'obfuscation' of the premeditated murder of Brigadier J.

"We consider these two prisons to be one part of the obstruction of justice," he said.

The report made by Putri Chandrawathi is only an alibi. The goal, to cover the death of Brigadier J because he was killed.

"This is part of an effort to prevent the disclosure of case 340 (premeditated murder, ed)," said Andi.
