        "summary": "Prosecutors in West Nusa Tenggara are to appeal against the six-year prison sentence handed to Radiet Adiansyah for the death of a Mataram University student, arguing the crime was murder, not assault. The court convicted the defendant under an assault causing death statute, far short of the 13-year term sought for the killing at Pantai Nipah in 2025. The case began when the victim resisted an attempted rape before a fatal struggle ensued.",
        "content": "<p>Prosecutors will file an appeal against the six-year prison sentence\ngiven to Radiet Adiansyah, also known as Radit, the defendant in the\nmurder of Mataram University (Unram) student Ni Made Vaniradya Puspa\nNitra at Pantai Nipah, Pemenang District, North Lombok, West Nusa\nTenggara (NTB).<\/p>\n<p>The head of public relations at the NTB High Prosecutor\u2019s Office,\nMuhammad Harun Al Rasyid, said the appeal would be lodged with the court\nnext week. \u201cYes, God willing, the public prosecutor will file the appeal\nnext week,\u201d Harun said on Thursday (11\/6\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>One of the considerations behind the appeal is that the judge\u2019s\nruling did not align with the prosecutors\u2019 demands. \u201cThe verdict is not\nyet appropriate. It was purely murder, not assault resulting in death,\u201d\nhe stated.<\/p>\n<p>Previously, a panel of judges at the Mataram District Court chaired\nby Mukhlaasuddin sentenced Radit to six years in prison. Radit was found\nguilty of assaulting the victim to death, in accordance with Article 466\nparagraph (3) of Law No.\u00a01 of 2023 concerning the Criminal Code\n(KUHP).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAdjudicating, the court declares the defendant legally and\nconvincingly proven guilty of committing the criminal act of assault\ncausing death, as per the second alternative charge of the public\nprosecutor,\u201d the verdict read.<\/p>\n<p>The judge\u2019s ruling was far lighter than the prosecutors\u2019 demand.\nEarlier, prosecutors had requested that Radit be sentenced to 13 years\u2019\nimprisonment. \u201cSentencing the defendant to 13 years in prison,\u201d Sulviany\nstated while reading the sentencing demand in the Mataram District Court\nhearing room on Tuesday (2\/6\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>Prosecutors made this demand by declaring Radit proven to have\nmurdered his girlfriend, in accordance with Article 458 paragraph (1) of\nLaw No.\u00a01 of 2023 concerning the Criminal Code. \u201cDeclaring the defendant\nRadiet Adiansyah, alias Radit, legally and convincingly proven guilty of\ncommitting the criminal act of murder, as per the first charge of the\npublic prosecutor,\u201d the demand stated.<\/p>\n<p>The murder case took place on Tuesday (26\/8\/2025) at Pantai Nipah,\nPemenang District, North Lombok, NTB. In this case, Radiet initially\nclaimed that he and Ni Made Vaniradya Puspa Nitra were victims of\nrobbery. However, following a police investigation, Radiet was named as\na suspect.<\/p>\n<p>The murder began when Radiet attempted to rape the victim. However,\nthe victim fought back, leading to a struggle between the victim and the\nperpetrator.<\/p>",
