JAKARTA - A husband and wife couple, Inspector General Ferdy Sambo and Putri Candrawathi have been named suspects in the murder of Brigadier J at their official residence, Duren Tiga, South Jakarta on July 8.
Ferdy Sambo was named a suspect on August 9, 2022. Then, based on the facts of the investigation through the statements of witnesses and some evidence, the special team of the National Police also named Putri Candrawathi as a suspect on August 19, 2022.
Putri Candrawathi's role in the case, according to the Head of the Criminal Investigation Department, Komjen Agus Andrianto, was to invite three other suspects, namely Brigadier RR, Bharada E, and Kuwat Maruf, to gather first, as directed by Inspector General Ferdy Sambo.
“(PC) was on the 3rd floor when Ricky and Richard were asked if they could shoot the late Joshua. Invited to go to Duren Tiga with RE, RR, KM, the late Joshua. Following the scenario built by FS. Putri and her husband also promised the three of them money," said Komjen Agus on Saturday (20/8).
However, the police have not arrested Putri because she is sick.
"During the final investigation process, Putri had reported being sick, there was a doctor's letter. Asked to rest for 7 days, "said Irwasum Polri Komjen Agung Budi Maryoto, Friday (19/8).
Sambo and Putri were charged with Article 340 subsidiary Article 338 in conjunction with Article 55 and Article 56 of the Criminal Code, which carries a maximum penalty of death and a minimum of 20 years in prison.
Threatened ChildThe determination of Inspector General Ferdy Sambo and Putri Candrawati as suspects turned out to have a psychological impact on the family. Their two children who are still in school have been persecuted by netizens.
In fact, family photos, including their children, are increasingly circulating on social media. Some are equipped with the name and identity of the school name.
Commissioner of the Indonesian Child Protection Commission (KPAI), Retno Listyarti, asked the public to stop bullying and stigmatizing Inspector General Ferdy Sambo's children. Children are innocent and should be protected from various forms of violence, whether verbal, physical, psychological or cyber.
Children are indeed vulnerable to being stigmatized or labeled by their parents' actions. They are clearly innocent and not responsible for the actions of their parents.
“For anyone who didn't bully the Sambo kids, they are innocent and most likely never found out about the murder plots of their parents. So, it is very unfair if they become the target of bullying under the pretext of social sanctions, "said Retno in a written statement to VOI, Sunday (21/8).
The situation these children face is already difficult. Moreover, knowing that his parents are facing a legal process with high demands for punishment. Not being bullied by netizens or their friends, they are already very psychologically depressed.
"Don't add to the burden with bullying. STOP Bullying against Ferdy Sambo's children," he said.
For this reason, special protection is needed for children through rapid treatment efforts, including physical, psychological, and social treatment and/or rehabilitation. And, prevention of diseases and other health problems as guaranteed in the Child Protection Law and its derivative regulations, namely PP No.78 of 2021 concerning Special Protection for Children.
“Fulfillment of these rights is the responsibility of the regional government and the central government through service centers or institutions. Ferdy Sambo's children are also entitled to special protection," he said.
Regarding the finding that bullying has occurred in schools, KPAI will seek the truth.
"If it's true, KPAI will of course coordinate with the school and the Education Office to find a solution, in the best interests of the child," added Retno.
Because, if not treated immediately, the impact of bullying on children is extraordinary. In the early stages, children experience stress, then depression can continue. Children become insecure, become physically ill due to their psyche, academic achievement drops, and the worst impact can be suicide.
