Jakarta. Murder fugitive Hendra Subrata was flown to Jakarta on Saturday to serve his jail term after eluding justice for around 10 years, throughout which he stayed in Singapore.
According to the Indonesian embassy in Singapore, the 81 years of age left from Singapore at 6: 45 regional time aboard a Garuda plane.
The Indonesian Supreme Court has actually supported his verdict and sentenced him to four years in jail.
There was no special security plan for Hendra, who went aboard the airplane on a wheelchair, the embassy said, adding that the found guilty was “cooperative”.
Hendra was found guilty of killing his service partner Hermanto Wibowo by the West Jakarta District Court in 2010 and a year later the Supreme Court supported the verdict, but he left justice prior to the sentence was served.
According to the court file, he struck the victim with a dumbbell a number of times.
Indonesian district attorneys have actually provided an arrest warrant for the fugitive given that September 2011, however his whereabouts remain unidentified till he showed up at the embassy in February to renew his passport.
He utilized an alias, Endang Rifai, on his passport and embassy authorities became suspicious after he lost mood and complained about the time-consuming interview.
” He wished to finish the process sooner, pointing out an ill other half waiting in your home,” the embassy said in a statement.
He likewise argued that when his spouse restored the passport, the interview was much faster.
The argument resulted in an additional investigation and embassy officials learned that the lady in question, Linawaty Widjaja, is the spouse of Hendra Subrata, not Endang.
Hendra was permitted to go house to look after his better half as the embassy also required an extra time to investigate the case with law enforcement authorities and the migration.
It was soon validated that Hendra has actually used an alias to hide his identity, prompting the embassy to withdraw his passport and notified Singapore’s Immigration and Checkpoint Authority regarding passport forgery.
Singapore’s Foreign Affairs Ministry notified the embassy last week that Hendra aka Endang Rifai would be repatriated to Indonesia.
