T
he Jambi District Court on Wednesday handed down a 15-year sentence against defendants Lukman and Deni who were charged with killing Jambi Prosecutor's Office intelligence division head Novan Siregar.
The sentence was lighter than the life imprisonment sought by prosecutors.
'Both defendants have been proven guilty of violating articles in the Criminal Code on premeditated murder, and are thereby sentenced to 15 years,' said presiding judge Supraja.
In the ruling, the panel of judges did not agree with the defendants' lawyer who maintained the murder was unintentional.
'Elements of intent and premeditation, in accordance with Article 340, have been proven according to law because the defendants had prepared a machete and had stabbed [the victim] in the stomach, thigh, waist and had hit the victim's head with a blunt object,' said Supraja. (***)
