JAKARTA - The defendant Ferdy Sambo did not want to alone bear all the impacts that occurred due to the death of Nopriansyah Yosua Hutabarat alias Brigadier J. The former Head of Propam Polri invited Richard Karya alias Bharada E to be held accountable.

Ferdy Sambo made this statement when responding to Bharada E's statement which was presented as a witness.

Initially, Ferdy Sambo denied some information about the planning to kill Brigadier J.

"Starting from the 3rd floor, the wife is next to me, I have to give this child to death, later you kill Yosua, then, you add ammunition, hand over bullets, then HS requests. I will definitely deny this testimony," said Ferdy Sambo in a trial at the South Jakarta District Court, Tuesday, December 13.

Then, he also denied the testimony of witness Bharada E regarding the incident at the Duren Tiga official residence. For example, the order to shoot and kill Brigadier J.

"Regarding Duren three, it's filled in, here you hold his neck, get down on your knees, you shoot 3-4 times. Then the rest I shoot, then I go forward, then I also shoot," he said.

"Then I said it was not going forward, that it was very clear that the witness was going forward. However, the judge assessed it. Then the gun gotong, wearing black gloves, then the half-open room because I came in to pick up my wife. I clearly opened the door," continued Ferdy Sambo.

After conveying several other responses, Ferdy Sambo began to invite Bharada E to take responsibility. The reason is because his former brother had misinterpreted the order at the moment of the shooting.

"If the witness said that I asked to beat him, then the witness did or translated it into a shooting order from me, I would be responsible, but we are both responsible," said Ferdy Sambo.

In fact, the former Head of Propam Division also asked Bharada E not to drag his wife, Putri Candrawathi, and Strong Ma'ruf and Ricky Rizal.

"Strongly, ricky and my wife don't get involved. I will be responsible for what I do. But I will not be responsible for what I didn't do," said Ferdy Sambo.

Meanwhile, Ferdy Sambo and Putri Candrawathi were jointly charged with the murder of Brigadier J at the Police Complex, Duren Tiga.

Ferdy Sambo is referred to as planning the murder. Meanwhile, Putri supports and helps her husband.
