JAKARTA - So far, the National Police have not disclosed the motive for the premeditated murder case against Brigadier Nopryansah Yosua Hutabarat or Brigadier J, who is suspected of being masterminded by the former Head of the National Police Propam Division, Inspector General Ferdy Sambo.

In fact, President Joko Widodo has twice reminded the National Police to open the shooting case at Ferdy Sambo's halfway house transparently, so that nothing is covered up and reveal the truth as it is.

Member of Commission III of the House of Representatives from the NasDem Party faction, Ahmad Ali, considered it important to reveal the motive for the shooting that killed Brigadier J by the Police. This is so as not to become a wild opinion in the public sphere.

Moreover, recently, there were rumors that Brigadier J was killed because he knew Ferdy Sambo's secret, related to illicit business and a mistress.

"Yes, if not (revealed the motive, ed) the public will ask questions and build opinions. So it is important for the police to convey the motive, so that opinions do not run wild," said Ahmad Ali when contacted, Thursday, August 11.

Moreover, the National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo has announced the suspects in the shooting case of Brigadier J, who is charged with Article 340 and carries the death penalty. According to him, it is impossible for a criminal case to occur without a motive.

"In my opinion, it is impossible for a criminal event to occur without a motive. There is an intention, then the criminal act process occurs," explained Ahmad Ali.

However, the deputy head of the NasDem Party considered that the public should not participate in judging the suspects by pressing for the death penalty. Ahmad Ali asked the public to submit this case to the applicable law until it was decided by the court.

"We can't say today that person A is guilty because of his suspect status, because later there will be a process until the end, in court. So what the police are doing today is the preliminary process, the investigation and the investigation. Then with sufficient evidence they determine the suspect, of course Article 340, the maximum article is premeditated murder," he explained.

"Are we going to judge him? We don't have to go along with it. We're just monitoring this process. The police have named the suspect and completed the file, we'll see when it comes to court," said Ali.

Until now, the National Police seems 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 guarded 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 the investigators consume it," 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.
