JAKARTA - Police seem to stick with their stance, not revealing the motive behind Brigadier J's murder to the public. Twice the same reason has been given regarding this matter.

The Head of the Public Relations Division of the National Police, Inspector General Dedi Prasetyo, said that the Bhayangkara Corps maintained the feelings of all parties involved in the case, both Inspector General Ferdy Sambo and Brigadier J.

"For the motive, the feelings of both parties must be guarded, both from Brigadier Joshua and from the FS brothers," said Dedi to reporters, Thursday, August 11.

Even Inspector General Dedi quoted the Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs Mahfud MD as saying the motive behind the case was very sensitive. Therefore, it is said that the matter of the motive can only be heard by adults.

"The Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs has also conveyed that because this is a sensitive issue, it will be opened up in court," said Dedi.

According to him, if the motive for the murder was directly exposed to the public, it would lead to a different image in society. Therefore, it was decided not to be released to the public.

“At the trial, if for example it is consumed by the public, then different images will arise. Therefore, the investigation material and everything will be tested at the trial, God willing, it will be presented at the trial, "said Dedi.

Previously, the Kabaresrkim of the National Police, Komjen Agus Andrianto, also made a statement that was not much different. He refused to reveal the motive for protecting the feelings of all parties involved.

"To protect the feelings of all parties, let it be for the consumption of investigators," said Agus.

In the case of Brigadier J's murder, the team named four suspects, namely Inspector General Ferdy Sambo, Bharada Richard Eliezer or Bharada EE, Brigadier Ricky or Brigadier RR, and Strong Maruf.

In this case, all suspects are suspected of Article 340 subsidiary 338 of the Criminal Code in conjunction with Articles 55 and 56 of the Criminal Code.

In addition, there were 31 Polri personnel who were declared to have violated the code of ethics in handling the case of Brigadier J's murder. In fact, 11 of them were placed in a special room.
