Indramayu Court Postpones Murder Sentencing for Ririn Rifanto

The final sentencing for Ririn Rifanto, accused in the murder of a five-person family in Indramayu, was unexpectedly postponed on Friday, July 3, 2026. The Indramayu District Court announced the delay, pushing the verdict to the following week.

Chief Judge Wimmy D Simarmata cited ongoing internal deliberations among the judges as the reason for the postponement. "The judges' deliberations are not yet complete, so today's hearing is postponed and will continue on July 8, 2026, at 10:00 AM Western Indonesian Time, with the verdict reading agenda," he stated. The court session lasted only a few minutes before the adjournment.

Ririn was subsequently escorted out of the courtroom by officers. The proceedings continued with another defendant in the same case, Priyo Bagus Setiawan. Earlier, on June 18, 2026, the public prosecutor had sought the maximum penalty, a death sentence, for Ririn. The prosecution argued that Ririn had deliberately and convincingly committed the premeditated murder of H Sahroni (76), Budi Awaludin (40), Euis Juwita Sari (37), and Ratu Khairunnisa (7).
