Suara.com – The public prosecutor (JPU) dismissed Princess Candrawathi’s defense or plea, who said she was abused and even raped by her husband’s former aide Ferdy Sambo, Brigadier Nofriansyah Yosua Hutabarat.
According to the prosecutor, Putri had played a role in the premeditated murder case of Brigadier Yosua. Where, Putri initially told a story about harassment then changed to rape.
“The defendant Putri Candrawathi carried out the character required by premeditated murder, namely telling a story to Ferdy Sambo’s brother, in the form of a story when the defendant Putri Candrawathi was harassed. Which then turned into a story of rape,” said the prosecutor.
After that, Sambo also made a scenario to kill Yosua together with Bharada Richard Eliezed or Bharada E, Bripka Ricky Rizal and Strong Maruf.

The prosecutor explained that the story about the abuse was originally said to have taken place at the Sambo official residence in Duren Tiga. However, recently a change occurred at Sambo’s house in Magelang.
“And the first story happened at Duren Tiga’s house number 46 because the defendant Putri Candrawathi was harassed by the victim Nofriansyah Yosua Hutabarat. Then, the story moved to the Magelang house with the second story, with the incident Putri Candrawathi was raped by the victim Nofriansyah Yosua Hutabarat,” said the prosecutor .
The existence of stories that were changed from the harassment story made the prosecutor assess that the harassment was just a fantasy and thick with malicious intent.
“So that the changes in the stories are like serial stories like stories full of delusions, which are thick with evil schemes,” explained the prosecutor.

Pleidoi Putri Harassed Joshua
In her defense, Putri insisted that she was a victim of sexual violence by Brigadier Yosua. In fact, said Putri, Joshua was already considered part of his own family.
“I experienced sexual violence. I was abused by people we had always treated very well, people we considered family,” said Putri in the South Jakarta District Court courtroom, Wednesday (25/1/2023).
She felt that the incident of sexual violence was very serious because it coincided with her wedding anniversary with Ferdy Sambo on 7 July 2023.
“A very bitter incident that actually happened on our 22nd wedding day. On the other hand, millions of insults, ridicule and even judgment have been rained down on me,” he explained.
Putri said that she often saw banners urging her to be severely punished when she was being escorted in the prosecutor’s detention car. He felt that the incident of Joshua’s death was something he had never imagined.

“In fact, on the way after the trial I saw from the prisoner’s car lots of banners containing insults and coercion so that the Panel of Judges handed down scary sentences,” said Putri.
“A punishment that I can’t imagine. I never even thought about it, this embarrassing incident happened to forcibly take our happiness away,” he continued.
Putri said she often felt that she was unable to continue her life. Even so, the memory of his children keeps him alive to this day.
“Often, I feel that I can’t live this life anymore. However, I am grateful, memories of hugs, smiles and even tears from my husband and children helped me when it seemed as if the world no longer left even a shred of hope for justice,” said Putri.
