UNSPLASH ILLUSTRATION

AMBON - The Ambon District Court judges sentenced Muhammad Umaya Nahumaruri, a defendant in the murder of Muhamad Zidan Ohorella in Central Maluku, to 12 years in prison.

"To declare that the defendant is found guilty of violating Article 338 of the Criminal Code, subsidiary to Article 351 paragraph 3 of the Criminal Code and the third indictment is more subsidiary to violating Article 351 paragraph 1 of the Criminal Code and punishing the defendant for 12 years in prison," said the chairman of the panel of judges Martha Maitimu accompanied by two member judges in Ambon as reported by ANTARA, Tuesday, August 15.

There were also things that incriminate the defendant was sentenced to prison because his actions caused the victim to die, and the defendant did not admit the act.

Meanwhile, the mitigating factor is that the defendant is polite and has never been convicted.

The verdict of the panel of judges is still lighter than the demands of the Ambon District Prosecutor Donald Rettob who charged the defendant with imprisonment for 15 years.

Muhammad Umaya Nahumaruri alias Maya became a defendant in a case of alleged abuse and murder during clashes between residents in Tulehu some time ago.

Based on this decision, both the prosecutor and the defendant through their legal advisor Herbert Dadiata and Penny Tupan expressed their thoughts so that they were given seven days to state their position.
