Family of Prada Lucky to Submit Letter to Military High Court Regarding Pardon Document
The legal team representing the family of Prada Lucky Chepril Saputra Namo will submit a letter to the Military High Court (Diltimil) III-12 Surabaya, East Java. The letter pertains to documentation submitted by Pelda Chrestian Namo purporting to pardon 22 defendants accused of assaulting Prada Lucky until his death.
Akhmad Bumi, chief legal counsel for Prada Lucky’s family, stated that this step was taken to emphasise that the purported pardon document never appeared in the facts presented during previous court proceedings.
“We will immediately submit a letter there to clarify that this document never existed in the facts of the previous proceedings,” said Akhmad Bumi, chief of the family’s legal team, when interviewed after a hearing at Military Court III-13 Kupang, East Nusa Tenggara, on Wednesday (11 March 2026).
Akhmad also raised concerns regarding alleged intimidation of the victim’s father in connection with the creation of the letter. According to him, the document was typed neatly and in a structured manner, raising suspicions of involvement by outside parties.
“We suspect some form of coercion, but we will investigate further because Pelda Chrestian is currently being held in custody,” Akhmad asserted.
He added that the victim’s family, together with their legal team, are confident that Diltimil III-12 Surabaya will uphold the verdict of Military Court III-13 Kupang. This is because the trial revealed that Prada Lucky died as a result of assault inflicted by the defendants.
“The facts revealed that 22 defendants assaulted the victim repeatedly until he died,” Akhmad stated.
Family Rejects Pardon Document
Sepriana Paulina Mirpey, the mother of Prada Lucky, firmly affirmed that she and her family strongly reject the contents of the letter stating forgiveness toward the defendants. According to her, the actions of the defendants resulted in the death of her son.
“In any case, we all reject this letter that seeks to forgive the defendants who have assaulted my child to death. These are facts of the trial and key witnesses are still present,” said Sepriana.
Sepriana hopes that the TNI military institution will give serious attention to this case and uphold justice for the victim’s family. She also called for support from all parties so that the appeal proceedings are conducted fairly and provide legal certainty.
“From the beginning, I have stated that I love the TNI because I come from an uncle and great-grandfather who served in the TNI. We are confident that the TNI institution will uphold justice for us,” Sepriana concluded.
