Former Dentist Putri Candrawathi Now Serving 20-Year Sentence

Putri Candrawathi is back in the public spotlight following various posts about her personal life before she became implicated in the premeditated murder case of Brigadier Nofriansyah Yosua Hutabarat, also known as Brigadier J. Behind her status as the wife of former Police Internal Affairs Division head Ferdy Sambo, not many know that Putri had an impressive educational background. Before serving her prison sentence, Putri Candrawathi was known to have worked as a dentist. This information resurfaced after the official Instagram account of Ferdy Sambo, managed by an administrator, shared a series of details about his wife’s life journey. Before she was known as a Bhayangkari and the wife of a high-ranking police officer, Putri Candrawathi had a career in the health sector. According to information shared on Ferdy Sambo’s official Instagram account, Putri is a graduate of the Faculty of Dentistry at Trisakti University. She also reportedly continued her education at the University of Pittsburgh in the United States. This educational history shows that Putri had an academic background in dentistry before she chose to focus on supporting her husband’s career. After marrying Ferdy Sambo, Putri did not continue her profession as a dentist or a journalist. She chose to accompany her husband, who was serving as a police officer. The post explained that after marrying Ferdy Sambo, Putri decided not to continue her profession as a dentist or journalist, choosing instead to focus on being a Bhayangkari and following her husband wherever he was assigned. This decision led her to become active in various Bhayangkari organisation activities in several regions where Ferdy Sambo served. Her activities as a Bhayangkari were not limited to organisational duties. The same post mentioned that when Ferdy Sambo served as the Brebes Police Chief, Putri had a desire to help educate children in remote areas.
