The rowdy Sambo Scenario Revealed Makes Hendra Kurniawan Say Wow

‘Wow’ was the first word uttered by the former Karo Paminak of the Propam Police Division, Hendra Kurniawan, when he heard the news that Ferdy Sambo admitted that the death of Brigadier Nopriansyah Yosua Hutabarat was not due to shooting, but shooting. Hendra Kurniawan said he heard the news from a member of the Timsus, who told him to confess.

This was told by Hendra when he was presented as a defendant by the prosecutor, in an obstruction of justice trial or obstruction of the investigation into the death of Brigadier Yosua. The trial was held at the South Jakarta District Court (PN Jaksel) on Friday, 13 January 2022.

“So from the Timsus, Brigadier General Hotman said ‘Okay, Dra, just admit it, Sambo has confessed everything, admitted all of this. You’ve just told me everything, just tell me.’ here with me,'” Hendra said in the middle of the courtroom.

The former first-star general of the National Police has denied being involved in engineering the Yosua murder case with Ferdy Sambo, his former superior at the Propam Polri Division.

“In order to make it clearer, Mr. Sambo was presented so that he could be told that he had already confessed. I asked ‘what is it like to admit it?’ No answer, yes, ‘That’s not shooting, it’s shooting’. ‘Oops,’ I said that,” said Hendra.

“(The investigator said) ‘Well, you take the risk’. ‘Ready’ I said. So it wasn’t shooting, he said, it was shooting,” he continued.

He said that Sambo also admitted that there was no shooting, but shooting. Hendra said investigators said there was a video.

“Isn’t the story at that time Joshua was still alive when he came?” asked the judge.

“Nothing. About not shooting, that’s shooting. Then, ‘no need anymore, there is also a video’. ‘Yes, good’, I said if for example there was a video,” said Hendra.
