Jakarta, IO – Ferdy Sambo was the former police internal affairs chief convicted and sentenced to death in the premeditated murder of his subordinate Yosua. The Supreme Court (MA) ruling was read out on Tuesday (8/8), per CNNIndonesia. The decision was given in response to his appeal request.
“The cassation decision rejected the appeal by the public prosecutor and the defendant by correcting the qualification of the crime and the sentence imposed,” said MA spokesperson Sobandi.
Other than Sambo, MA also reduced the jail term of Sambo’s wife Putri Candrawathi from 20 years to 10 years.
