JAKARTA - Criminologist Prof. Dr. Muhamad Mustofa said that the difference between premeditated murder and not was a time lag. So, the perpetrator can think first about what he did. The definition of the premeditated murder was conveyed by Muhamad Mustofa when presented as an expert in the trial of the premeditated murder case of Brigadier J for all the defendants held at the Jakarta Salatan District Court, Monday, December 19. "Meanwhile, if there is a premeditated murder, there is enough time between the actions that promote the perpetrators, what they make up with the act of committing murder," said Mustofa. According to him, with the time lag, the perpetrators can use this opportunity not only to think. However, prepare everything. While the killing does not plan there is no time lag. This means that the perpetrator spontaneously takes the act of killing someone's life right away or when it is informed with anything. Then, the media or tools used can also be found at the scene. "So there is a sufficient time lag for the perpetrators to think whether they want to act murder or not. So there is a time lag," he said. In fact, Mustofa, who was questioned by the public prosecutor (JPU) about whether or not there was a time limit, said everything was relative. However, still referring to the act of premeditated murder. "When there is a limit?" asked the prosecutor. "Relative, so the size is back is the one that didn't plan," said Mustofa. In the murder case of Brigadier J, defendant Ferdy Sambo said the series of murders was motivated by the abuse of his wife, Putri Candrawathi. However, Ferdy Sambo did not immediately commit the murder. This is because the alleged abuse occurred on July 7. Meanwhile, the shooting of Brigadier J a day later. For information, there were five defendants in the alleged murder case of Brigadier J. They are Ferdy Sambo Putri Candrawathi, Strong Ma'ruf, Bripka Ricky Rizal, and Bharada Richard They were jointly involved in the murder of Brigadier J at the Police Complex, Duren Tiga.
