Defendant in Bank Branch Manager Murder Case Faces Rp5.8 Billion Restitution

Jakarta — The defendant in the alleged kidnapping and murder of a bank branch chief, identified by initials MIP (37), has been demanded to pay restitution to the victim’s family amounting to Rp 5,851,192,240. Oditur Militer from the Oditurat Militer II-07 Jakarta, Major Wasinton Marpaung, said this during a continuing session at the Jakarta Military Court II-08 on Thursday (21 May 2026).

“LPSK has conducted an in-depth information check and assessed the losses suffered by the victim or his heirs from the criminal incident, amounting to Rp 5,851,192,240,” Wasinton said.

Wasinton revealed that the official restitution request document had only been received by his office from the Witness and Victim Protection Agency (LPSK) after the reading of the charges in the week prior. The restitution request was filed by the victim’s wife, Puspita Aulia, as the victim’s heir.

“After we read the charges in court last week, we received the official documents relating to the restitution request from LPSK in the afternoon,” Wasinton added.

In a letter dated 13 May 2026, LPSK stated that it had conducted examination, information deepening, and calculation of the losses suffered by the victim and his family.

The restitution relates to the case of planned murder and planned assault which caused death, with three defendants from the Indonesian Army (TNI AD).

Presiding Judge Colonel Chk Fredy Ferdian Isnartanto then queried the mechanism for imposing restitution — whether it should be borne by each defendant or shared jointly.

In response, the Prosecutor replied that they had coordinated directly with LPSK. From that coordination, restitution is to be borne jointly and severally by the defendants according to their respective roles and fault.

Fredy then questioned the basis for calculating the Rp 5.8 billion restitution, asking the Prosecutor to provide information on any potential pension rights or allowances the victim might have received from his bank employer.

“Because if so, it would extend to his retirement. What is the income up to retirement multiplied by the factor; the result is Rp 5.8 billion,” Fredy explained.

According to Fredy, this information is important to ensure whether the restitution value has accounted for any rights the victim’s family could still receive from the employer.

However, the Prosecutor admitted he did not know whether the victim had pension rights from his workplace.

The session continued with the panel requesting that pension-related data for the victim be completed as material for consideration in the restitution request.

In the same Military Court session, Defendant 1, Sergeant Mochamad Nasir, was charged with 12 years imprisonment reduced by time already served.

Defendant 2, Corporal Feri Herianto, faced a 10-year term reduced by time served. Defendant 3, Sergeant Frengky Yaru, faced a four-year term.

In addition, Defendants 1 and 2 were also charged with dismissal from military service of the Indonesian Army (TNI AD).

Defendants were also ordered to pay case costs: Defendant 1 and Defendant 3 each Rp 15,000, while Defendant 2 was charged Rp 10,000.”
