Suspect Bharada E 'Traumatized' During Brigadier J's Murder Reconstruction

The attorney of Bharada E has revealed that his client was traumatized during Brigadier J’s murder reconstruction that took place at the residence of Ferdy Sambo in Duren Tiga, South Jakarta, on Tuesday, August 30.

As reported by Antara, lawyer of suspect Richard Eliezer (or more famously known as Bharada E) Ronny Talapessy claimed that entering the crime scene during the reconstruction traumatized his client who was reportedly quite close to victim Brigadier J.

“He was a bit traumatized as he entered the Duren Tiga house, but hopefully, he feels better today,” Talapessy said on Wednesday, August 31.

He said the event forced his client to recall the moment when he was forced to shoot his colleague.

“It would definitely be difficult if we were in his shoes because [he] met [victim] every day but was then ordered to shoot him,” the attorney said.

However, despite his state, Talapessy said Eliezer had remained committed to focus on the reconstruction. He also revealed that all scenes in the reconstruction were done based on what had really happened even though there were differences in statements from Eliezer and suspect Ferdy Sambo, or FS.

“Those differences were because FS rejected statements from Bharada E,” Talapessy claimed, adding that his client is still committed to being a justice collaborator.
