JAKARTA - Digital forensic expert Adi Setya revealed the existence of a WhatsApp group consisting of Ferdy Sambo, Putri Candrawathi, and other defendants. The group was made three days after the death of Brigadier J.
The dismantling of the WhatsApp group when Adi Setya was present as an expert in the trial of the premeditated murder case of Brigadier J for all the defendants held at the South Jakarta District Court, Monday, December 19.
Initially, Adi said that he had examined one of the cellphones that was confiscated as evidence. From the WhatsApp short message application on the cellphone, it was found that there was a group called 'Duren Tiga'.
"So the cellphone found a WhatsApp group with the name Duren Tiga, in which there were several contacts in the group, including a WhatsApp contact named Inspector General Ferdy Sambo, then there was a WhatsApp contact named Putri Candrawathi and so on," said Adi.
Hearing this testimony, the prosecutor also confirmed that the members of the Whatsapp group were the five defendants.
"Inside there are 5 defendants?" asked the prosecutor.
"Yes," said Adi.
However, according to Adi, the content of the conversation in the group was not legible. This is because the group has been deleted. So far, it can only be seen that the group was created by the defendant Ricky Rizal on July 11 or three days after the death of Brigadier J.
However, the group only lasted a few hours. Because, on the same day and date the group was deleted precisely when Bharada E became a member in it.
"Is there any deletion of conversations?" asked the prosecutor.
"If you are here only for a short period of time, the WhatsApp account on behalf of Richard enters the group no more than one day, he is added at 5 am on the 11th and then removed from the group at 8 on 11th, so it's not up to 1 day," said Adi.
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.
Ferdy Sambo is referred to as planning the murder. Meanwhile, Putri and three other defendants supported and helped the former Propam Kadiv.
Thus, they were charged with violating Article 340 of the Criminal Code, subsidiary to Article 338 of the Criminal Code in conjunction with Article 55 paragraph 1 to (1) of the Criminal Code.
