JAKARTA - The team of attorneys for Strong Ma'ruf, Irwan Irawan explained that the alleged affair between Putri Candrawathi and Brigadier Nofriansyah Yosua Hutabarat (Brigadir J) was just the imagination of the Public Prosecutor.

"The accusation of infidelity between witness Putri Candrawathi and the victim is just the imagination of the public prosecutor because it is based on evidence from the results of the polygraph test examination and is not in accordance with the statements of the defendant and witness Susi," said Irwan Irawan at the South Jakarta District Court, Jakarta, Tuesday 24 January.

The team of lawyers explained that the allegations of infidelity were not in accordance with the statements of Strong Maruf and Susi who found Putri Candrawathi lying limp and helpless.

"As a result of the violence committed by the victim," said the lawyer.

In the previous trial, the Public Prosecutor's team concluded that there was an affair between Putri Candrawathi and Brigadier Nofriansyah Yosua Hutabarat on Thursday, July 7, 2022, in Magelang, Central Java.

"That was true on Thursday, July 7, 2022, around the afternoon at the house of witness Ferdy Sambo in Magelang, there was an affair between victim Nofriansyah Yosua Hutabarat and witness Putri Candrawathi," said the team of Public Prosecutors at the South Jakarta District Court, Jakarta, Monday (16/1).

The Public Prosecutor's Team in the alleged murder case of Brigadier Nofriansyah Yosua Hutabarat (Brigadir J) also considered that Strong Maruf knew that Yosua was out of Putri's bedroom on the second floor of Magelang's house, resulting in a commotion between Strong and Yosua.

Strong Maruf is one of five defendants in the premeditated murder case of Brigadier Nofriansyah Yosua Hutabarat. He was sentenced to eight years in prison by the public prosecutor.

The other four defendants are Ricky Rizal who was sentenced to 8 years in prison, Ferdy Sambo who was sentenced to life imprisonment, Putri Candrawathi (8 years), and Richard totaling (12 years).
