The family of Sutrimo, a man reportedly linked to former Jampidsus Febrie Adriansyah, is questioning the circumstances surrounding his death. Sutrimo was found deceased outside the Mordent beauty clinic in Kebayoran Baru, South Jakarta. His family has expressed suspicion due to several inconsistencies, including the condition of his body upon arrival and the delayed return of his personal effects.
First, when they received the body, the body was already shrouded, clean, and there was nothing suspicious.
According to Sutrimo's family lawyer, Aan Rohaeni, the body was already prepared for burial upon collection, showing no immediate signs of distress. The family initially accepted the reported cause of death, a blood sugar level of 600, as Sutrimo had a history of diabetes. However, their doubts grew when his personal belongings, including his mobile phone and wallet, were not returned.
They arrived at 10 (at night) and were immediately buried. There was no suspicion at all at first.
The family also raised concerns about the individual who delivered Sutrimo's body, noting that the contact number provided is now inactive. This, coupled with the missing items, has fueled their suspicions. Despite these concerns, the family feels caught in a difficult position. They are reportedly intimidated by the potential involvement of high-profile figures and fear the complications and financial burdens of pursuing a formal investigation.
The family, on one hand, feels, what is this going on? Because this involves big figures and big cases in Indonesia.
"They are afraid of facing a big case," Rohaeni stated, explaining the family's hesitation. Their financial limitations and emotional distress, particularly for Sutrimo's mother, add to their reluctance to confront what they perceive as a powerful and complex situation. The family's unease highlights a case shrouded in uncertainty and fear.
They realized that if they were to file a report, the family would definitely be troubled. They were scared.
