The high-profile scandal has thrust Indonesia’s police force into the spotlight over alleged impunity and corruption.

“The defendant’s actions had also tarnished the institution of the National Police in the eyes of the Indonesian community and the international community. The defendant was also convoluted in giving information and did not admit to his crime.” Furious, Ferdy summoned another subordinate, junior police officer Richard Eliezer Pudihang Lumliu, 24, and asked if he “had the guts to shoot” Nofriansyah. Richard expressed his readiness.
That evening, at Ferdy’s residence in South Jakarta, Richard fired his Glock-17 three or four times at an unarmed Nofriansyah until he collapsed. Holding a gun in his gloved hand, Ferdy then fatally shot the wounded man with a bullet to the back of his head. She added: “From now on, I hope there won’t be any more cases of people, police officers, being used by their superiors to commit crimes.”
Court hearings also revealed that Ferdy was a very influential and respected figure whose orders were seldom disobeyed. He had also prepared rewards for his subordinates in the form of cash and iPhone 13 Pro Max phones for their roles in the murder.
