  • Nus Kei's family denies his involvement in a 2019 murder in Bekasi, challenging police claims that the motive was revenge for a past incident.
  • The family questions the legal basis for the accusations, demanding to see any court documents or arrest warrants implicating Nus Kei.
  • They urge authorities to reopen the Bekasi case and investigate the potential masterminds behind Nus Kei's own murder.

The family of the late Agrapinus Rumatora, widely known as Nus Kei, has vehemently refuted allegations linking him to a murder that occurred in Bekasi in 2019. The family's legal counsel, Pangeran Mangkubumi, directly challenged the Maluku Regional Police's assertion that Nus Kei was motivated by revenge for the Bekasi incident, emphasizing that Nus Kei was never named a suspect in that case.

This is confirmed by the fact that no suspect has been named for the deceased at all.

This denial comes after the Maluku Regional Police identified two suspects in Nus Kei's murder, claiming they acted out of vengeance for their brother, Fenansius Wadanubun, alias Dani Holat, who allegedly died in the Bekasi incident. However, Nus Kei's wife, Renilda Samudra Sari, dismissed these claims, stating there is no administrative or legal evidence to support the accusation that her husband was behind Dani Holat's death. She rightly pointed out that any criminal involvement would typically leave a traceable record.

If my husband had committed a crime or murder, there would definitely be a record of it on social media or in the law. Where is the evidence? Was my husband named a suspect?

The family is demanding transparency and due process, questioning the legal foundation of the police's narrative. They are calling for the reopening of the 2019 Bekasi case by the relevant authorities in Bekasi, expressing a willingness to cooperate fully. Furthermore, they insist on a thorough investigation into the possibility of a planned, systematic assassination, believing that Nus Kei was the victim of a conspiracy. The family's stance highlights a deep distrust in the current investigation and a strong desire to clear Nus Kei's name and uncover the truth behind his death.

If there is a court decision with strong legitimacy that proves the involvement of the late Nus Kei in the past, where is the case file? Where is the decision?
