Jakarta, Hilton News –
Kompolnas claimed that it would write to the West Java Regional Police regarding the statement of convict Saka Tatal who claimed to be the victim of wrongful arrest in the Vina murder case in Cirebon in 2016.
Kompolnas member Yusuf Warsyim said that Saka’s confession had become his party’s concern, and would be one of the clarification materials to the West Java Regional Police.
“Regarding the explanation of the convict, of course, it is a record of the National Police as an external supervisor of the National Police. Kompolnas has submitted a request for clarification to West Java Regional Police,” he told reporters on Tuesday (21/5).
Through this clarification, Yusuf admitted that his party would examine the entire process of investigating and investigating the case. Starting from when it was handled by the Cirebon City Police until it was finally delegated to the West Java Regional Police.
“From there we will see, whether there are complaints and objections of the suspects as complaints are forced to confess from one of the suspects at that time,” he explained.
Furthermore, Yusuf admitted that he would also check with the West Java Police Propam Division regarding complaints about the investigation process which were said to have been reported by the suspects.
“Including if there is a complaint to Propam at that time, we will see how the action goes,” he said.
Previously, 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 with gas on a motorcycle.
Eka is one of the perpetrators in the Vina and Eky murder case. 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.
In addition, Saka and three other convicts had reported alleged mistreatment of the authorities for the determination of the suspect to Komnas HAM in 2016.
The matter of the report was also confirmed by Komnas HAM, and has questioned the JAbar Regional Police.
Human Rights Enforcement Subcommission Coordinator Uli Parulian said the complaint was made by the four perpetrators, namely Hadi Saputra, Suprianto, Eko Ramadani and Saka Tatal on September 13, 2016.
In his report, Uli said they claimed they were prevented from meeting with family and legal representatives by investigators. In addition, investigators are also said to have participated in torture and forced them to confess as perpetrators.
“The issues raised are allegations of obstruction to meet with family and legal representatives, forced confession as perpetrators, and allegations of torture,” he explained in a written statement on Tuesday (21/5).
After receiving the report, Uli said Komnas HAM had asked for clarification to Irwasda Polda West Java through letter Number 0.131 / K / PMT / I / 2017 on Friday, January 20, 2017.
Uli said through the letter, Komnas HAM asked Irwasda Polda Jawa Barat to examine investigators suspected of torture and guarantee the rights of suspects in accordance with the provisions of the law.
Recently, he said, Komnas HAM also wrote to the West Java Regional Police to request progress in the search for 3 perpetrators who had been determined as DPOs in the case.
