The defendant Arif Rachman expressed his fear and family when giving a different statement to Ferdy Sambo. In fact, the wife was worried that her husband would become the second Brigadier J.

The testimony was conveyed when Chief Judge Akhmad Suhel revealed his reason for choosing Arif Rachman to be the first defendant in the alleged obstruction of investigation or obstruction of justice case of Yousa alias Brigadier J who was tried for the first time today.

"Look, I want to tell you why our brothers asked for the first. Because I saw that there was honesty in my brother, that's why I asked for the first," Judge Suhel said during a trial at the South Jakarta District Court, Friday, January 13.

"I can understand how you feel, that's why I let this case be open," he continued.

Hearing this, Arif Rachman couldn't help but cry. His tears fell wet his cheeks which were then swabbed with a broom.

He then mentioned everything that was known to have been conveyed at the trial.

"It's all Your Majesty," said Arif.

Until finally, Arif shared the widespread fear that his family experienced when he gave a different statement from Ferdy Sambo.

In fact, the wife was worried about the safety of Arif and his children. The reason is, she doesn't want her husband to have the same fate as Yosua alias Brigadier J.

"The fear was great, Your Majesty, yesterday when I told a different story to Mr. FS, frankly my family was afraid," said Arif.

"My wife had said that it was okay for the children? Just imagine that an aide can be told to be killed, how come I didn't think about Your Majesty," he continued.

Arif Rachman Arifin was charged with being involved in destroying CCTV evidence at the investigation of the death of Brigadier J. He is said to have helped secure CCTV DVR from around Ferdy Sambo's official residence, precisely at the Police Complex security post, Duren Tiga, South Jakarta.

In addition, Arif Rachman Arifin is also said to have destroyed a laptop containing CCTV copies. The destruction was carried out by breaking the laptop.
