Brigadier J's Family Still Doubts Why Bharada E Followed Ferdy Sambo's Order

Brigadier J's Family Still Doubts Why Bharada E Followed Ferdy Sambo's Order

A number of family members of Nofriansyah Yosua Hutabarat (Brigadir J) will present the evidence they had when they were witnesses in the trial of Bharada Richard Eliezer Pudihang Lumiu (Bharada E), Tuesday (10/25/2022) this week. 

The late Joshua's aunt, Rohani Simanjuntak, who will be a witness in the trial, questioned Eliezer's reasoning that he could not refuse Ferdy Sambo's request to kill his nephew. 

In fact, according to Rohani, Ferdy Sambo's other aide, Brigadier Ricky Rizal, who is also a defendant in the Joshua murder case, could refuse the request. 

"He (Bharada E) can't refuse what he said, but he should be able to. RR (Ricky Rizal) can refuse, why can't he refuse? He should have provided security to Joshua," said Rohani, quoted from the Kompas Evening program on Kompas TV , Sunday (10/23/2022). 

The family, said Rohani, had forgiven Eliezer. However, he said, Eliezer as the perpetrator must still be punished according to the law. 

"His name has killed, he must be punished with what has been determined from our country. He has killed someone," said Rohani. 

Rohani said as many as 11 people would testify in Eliezer's follow-up trial. He said he would show evidence in the form of his nephew's autopsy. 

"We have items, evidence that has been listed on our cellphones, such as gunshot wounds and cuts that we saw. We will see them there," said Rohani. 

In addition, Rohani along with witnesses who came from families stated that they were ready to provide information according to the minutes of examination (BAP). 

"We also told the story in the BAP yesterday how it was. Our statements in the BAP will be explained in court," said Rohani. 

As previously reported, judge Wahyu Iman Santoso ordered the public prosecutor (JPU) to present 12 witnesses at the trial with the defendant Richard Eliezer Pudihang Lumiu alias Bharada E next week. 

They are Brigadier J's family, namely Kamaruddin Simanjuntak, Samuel Hutabarat, Rosti Simanjuntak, Mahareza Rizky, and Yuni Artika Hutabarat. 

Then Devianita Hutabarat, Novita Sarina Dea, Rohani Simanjuntak, Sangga Parulian, Roslin Emika Simanjuntak, Indra Mantau Pasaribu, and finally Vera Mareta Simanjuntak. 

"Please be presented to the trial, considering the distance and time we give the Public Prosecutor (JPU) flexibility to be examined in accordance with the Perma on Covid, so you can Zoom. Do they want to be presented here or in Jambi," said Judge Wahyu at the South Jakarta District Court, Tuesday (18/10/2022). 

After undergoing his first trial, Eliezer had time to read a handwritten apology letter to Joshua's family in front of the media crew in the South Jakarta District Court courtroom. 

"To the family of the late Bang Yos, Mr., Mrs. Reza, and the big family of Bang Yos, I apologize, I hope that my apologies can be accepted by the family," said Eliezer. 

Eliezer wrote the letter in the Bareskrim Detention Center on Sunday (16/10/2022). 

"I deeply regret my actions, but I just want to state that I am just a member who does not have the ability to refuse orders from a general," Eliezer said.

Keluarga Brigadir J Masih Ragukan Alasan Bharada E Ikuti Perintah Ferdy Sambo

Sejumlah anggota keluarga Nofriansyah Yosua Hutabarat (Brigadir J) bakal memaparkan bukti-bukti yang mereka miliki saat menjadi saksi dalam persidangan Bharada Richard Eliezer Pudihang Lumiu (Bharada E), Selasa (25/10/2022) pekan ini.

Bibi mendiang Yosua, Rohani Simanjuntak, yang akan menjadi saksi dalam persidangan mempertanyakan alasan Eliezer yang mengaku tak bisa menolak permintaan Ferdy Sambo untuk menghabisi keponakannya.

Padahal, menurut Rohani, ajudan lain Ferdy Sambo, Bripka Ricky Rizal yang juga menjadi terdakwa dalam kasus pembunuhan Yosua, bisa menolak permintaan itu.

"Dia (Bharada E) tidak bisa menolak katanya, tapi dia seharusnya bisa. RR (Ricky Rizal) saja bisa menolak, kenapa dia tidak bisa menolak? Seharusnya dia memberikan keamanan pada Yosua," kata Rohani, dikutip dari program Kompas Petang di Kompas TV, Minggu (23/10/2022).

Pihak keluarga, kata Rohani, sudah memaafkan Eliezer. Namun, kata dia, Eliezer sebagai pelaku tetap harus dihukum sesuai dengan undang-undang.

"Namanya sudah membunuh, harus dihukum dengan apa yang sudah ditentukan dari negara kita. Ia sudah menghilangkan nyawa seseorang," ucap Rohani.

Rohani mengatakan, sebanyak 11 orang akan bersaksi dalam persidangan lanjutan Eliezer. Dia mengatakan akan menunjukkan barang bukti berupa hasil otopsi keponakannya itu.

"Kami ada barang-barang, bukti-bukti yang sudah tercantum di ponsel kami, seperti luka-luka tembak dan sayatan-sayatan yang kami lihat. Akan kami saksikan di sana," ujar Rohani.

Selain itu, Rohani bersama saksi yang berasal dari keluarga menyatakan siap menyampaikan keterangan sesuai berita acara pemeriksaan (BAP).

"Kami juga cerita di BAP kemarin itu bagaimana. Keterangan kami di BAP akan kami terangkan di persidangan," ujar Rohani.

Diberitakan sebelumnya, hakim Wahyu Iman Santoso memerintahkan jaksa penuntut umum (JPU) untuk menghadirkan 12 saksi pada sidang dengan terdakwa Richard Eliezer Pudihang Lumiu alias Bharada E pada pekan depan.

Mereka adalah keluarga Brigadir J yakni Kamaruddin Simanjuntak, Samuel Hutabarat, Rosti Simanjuntak, Mahareza Rizky, dan Yuni Artika Hutabarat.

Kemudian Devianita Hutabarat, Novita Sarina Dea, Rohani Simanjuntak, Sangga Parulian, Roslin Emika Simanjuntak, Indra Mantau Pasaribu, dan terakhir Vera Mareta Simanjuntak.

“Tolong dihadirkan ke persidangan, mengingat jarak dan waktu kami memberikan keleluasaan pada Jaksa Penuntut Umum (JPU) untuk diperiksa sesuai dengan Perma tentang Covid, jadi bisa Zoom. Apakah mereka mau dihadirkan di sini atau di Jambi,” kata Hakim Wahyu di Pengadilan Negeri Jakarta Selatan, Selasa (18/10/2022).

Usai menjalani sidang perdana, Eliezer sempat membacakan surat permohonan maaf yang ditulis tangan kepada keluarga Yosua di hadapan awak media di ruang sidang Pengadilan Negeri Jakarta Selatan.

"Untuk keluarga almarhum Bang Yos, Bapak, Ibu, Reza, serta keluarga besar Bang Yos, saya mohon maaf, semoga permohonan maaf saya ini dapat diterima oleh pihak keluarga," ucap Eliezer.

Eliezer menulis surat itu di dalam Rutan Bareskrim pada Minggu (16/10/2022).

"Saya sangat menyesali perbuatan saya, namun saya hanya ingin menyatakan bahwa saya hanyalah seorang anggota yang tidak memiliki kemampuan untuk menolak perintah dari seorang jenderal," ujar Eliezer.
