Jakarta –
Freddy Sambo he confessed that he cleaned Yosua’s HS-type pistol using the cloth mask he used. This was done to remove his fingerprints on Joshua’s gun.
This was disclosed when Ferdy Sambo was being examined as a defendant in Brigadier Yosua’s murder trial at South Jakarta (Jaksel) District Court on Tuesday (10/1/2023). Initially, the team of legal counsel questioned the findings of the appraisers’ examination who said there were no Sambo prints on Yosua’s gun.
While Sambo previously revealed to have taken the gun from Joshua’s waist after he fell to his death. Later, Sambo claimed that he used the weapon to shoot the wall there so that it would appear that a shooting had occurred.
“I’m kind of involved in the shooting incident, when the late Joshua collapsed, then first you explained that you took the revolver that was on Joshua’s right waist, then you fired into the wall. But yesterday at expert testimony “DNA, the gun didn’t find your fingerprints or your DNA. Brother what do you do with the gun when you’re done shooting?” asked the counsel in the courtroom, Tuesday (10/1/2023).
That’s when Sambo he confessed that he used his mask to clean Yosua’s HS weapon to get rid of his fingerprints. After that, Sambo continued, the gun was then held in Joshua’s hands to smooth out the scenario he was creating.
“I said after the shooting I wiped it off with my cloth mask and then I also took Joshua’s hand to shoot the back wall,” Sambo said.
“Your goal is to confirm the shooting scenario?” the legal counsel asked later.
“It seems so,” Sambo replied.
Sambo said the mask would not become evidence in the case because Sambo himself had thrown it away.
“Earlier, the defendant explained that he was brushed with a mask, was the mask used as evidence in this case, or did you throw it away?” the counsel asked.
“I threw it away,” Sambo said.
