Indonesian police transfer Sutrimo death probe to Polda Metro Jaya amid family concerns

The Banyumas Resort Police (Polresta Banyumas) will hand over the investigation into the death of Sutrimo to the Polda Metro Jaya. Sutrimo is identified as the head of household for former Jampidsus Febrie Adriansyah. The decision follows a report filed by Sutrimo's family concerning alleged irregularities surrounding his death.

“

From the series of statements we obtained, we coordinated with the investigators of Polda Metro Jaya, and then we will transfer the LP to Polda Metro Jaya.

Polresta Banyumas Police Chief Kombes Petrus Silalahi stated that his office has coordinated with Polda Metro Jaya regarding the family's report. He confirmed that the case file (LP) will be transferred to Polda Metro Jaya to expedite the investigation process, although he did not disclose the specific reasons for the handover at this early stage.

The family, represented by Sutrimo's brother Suting and his son Abhi, filed the report on Saturday evening. They were accompanied by a family spokesperson who indicated that initial information suggested no irregularities, but subsequent media reports and conflicting information prompted their action.

“

Currently, the LP is still undergoing initial examination, and then we will transfer it to expedite the handling.

Investigators from Polda Metro Jaya are preparing to conduct an exhumation of Sutrimo's body. This process, which involves reopening a grave, is intended to re-examine the circumstances of his death, given the suspicions raised. The exhumation is currently being prepared, according to Kombes Pol Budi Hermanto, Head of Public Relations for Polda Metro Jaya.

Yes, that is correct, and it is being prepared.
