“Based on Richard’s statement, we asked one of the members of the investigation team, the police’s technology, information and communication division chief to pick up FS,” explained Gen. Listyo.
When he was interrogated by the investigation, Ferdy Sambo insisted on sticking to his initial statement. To facilitate the investigation, the team detained Ferdy Sambo at the Mobile Brigade (Brimob) Corps headquarters.
On August 6, Richard wrote a statement detailing what caused the death of Brigadier J, explaining critical events from Magelang to the crime scene in police’s Duren Tiga residential complex and in it he admitted that he shot Brigadier J on FS’s order.
He then applied for Witness and Victim Protection Agency (LPSK) protection as a justice collaborator.
