JAKARTA - The defendants Ferdy Sambo and Putri Candrawahti unanimously refused to be witnesses in the alleged murder case of Brigadier J.

Originally, in the next trial Ferdy Sambo was scheduled to be a witness for Putri Candrawati and vice versa.

Their rejection began when Chief Judge Wahyu Iman Santoso questioned the willingness of the two defendants to discuss this matter.

"Previously I wanted to ask you. In this case, you are a witness in the case of the wife of the defendant, do you want to resign or continue to provide information?" asked Chief Judge Wahyu during a trial at the South Jakarta District Court, Tuesday, January 3.

Strictly speaking, the former Head of the Propam Division rejected it. "I don't need to be a witness," he said.

Hearing this statement, the judge did not mind it. This is because Ferdy Sambo's decision is regulated in the Criminal Procedure Code (KUHP).

"So indeed in the Criminal Code it is stipulated that you have the right to resign but in court we must question your attitude," said Chief Judge Wahyu.

Then, the same question was asked to Ferdy Sambo's wife. Compact with her husband, Putri Candrawathi also refused to be a witness at the next trial.

"Brother defendant, in this case you are a witness in your husband's case. Do you want to continue to provide information or resign?" asked Judge Wahyu.

"Please permission, Your Majesty, I will not be a witness for my husband," replied Putri.
