Jakarta, Hilton News –
One of the convicts in the murder case of Vina and Eky’s lovers in Cirebon, Saka Tatal, claimed to be the victim of a wrongful arrest by the police.
Saka claimed he never knew the two murder victims. Therefore, he admitted that he was surprised why the police also dragged him in the case.
“With the victim I didn’t know, I was confused and scared at the time. Because I was forced to be beaten, kicked, electrocuted, told to do it,” he told reporters on Saturday (18/5).
Saka explained that his arrest took place on August 31, 2016, when he was 15 years old. He admitted that at that time he was asked for help by his uncle, Eka Sandi to fill up the motorcycle. Eka is one of the perpetrators in the Vina and Eky murder case.
“Before the arrest, I was asked to help my uncle fill up the motorcycle. After filling up the gas, I returned the motorbike to my uncle who was hanging out near SMPN 11 Kota Cirebon,” he explained.
When he was about to return the motorcycle, he said, there were a number of police officers at the scene and were securing several people, including his uncle.
Saka claimed that he was not given any explanation by the police and was immediately taken to the Cirebon City Police Office with others.
“The motorbike has not been given to my uncle, and he was immediately arrested. When I didn’t see any explanation, I was taken to the Cirebon City Police Station,” he said.
Afterwards, Saka admitted that he was immediately taken to one of the rooms and received a number of abuses from a number of police. He said that’s when he was forced to confess to being the perpetrator of Vina and Eky’s murder.
“When I arrived at the police station, I was not asked, I knew I was immediately tortured, beaten, trampled until I was electrocuted. Forced to confess,” he said.
West Java Police General Criminal Investigation Director Kombes Surawan said his party was still hunting for three perpetrators allegedly involved in Vina’s murder in Cirebon in 2016.
Surawan emphasized that until now the West Java Regional Police had never stopped the case. He said his party would try to arrest the perpetrators as soon as possible.
The National Police Criminal Investigation Agency also intervened to deploy an assistance team to assist the West Java Regional Police in the search for three murder perpetrators who are still at large.
“The Directorate of Public Crime of the National Police Criminal Investigation also sent a team to assist the West Java Regional Police,” said Director of Public Crime of the National Police Criminal Investigation Brigadier General Djuhandani Rahardjo Puro when confirmed, Thursday (16/5).
