JAKARTA (Yosefardi) – Ahmad Imam Al Hafitd (19) and his girlfriend Assyifa Ramadhani (18) have been charged with life sentence for murdering 19-year-old Ade Sara Angelina Suroto.

In the Tuesday’s (Nov. 4) trial, Prosecutor Toton Rasyid said that the couple have been proven for violating Article 340 of the Indonesian Criminal Code (KUHP) on a premeditated murder over Ade Sara.

As reported earlier, Hafitd and Assyifa have been alleged for murdering Ade Sara. According to police, the two defendants tortured Sara for hours in Hafitd’s car on March 3, 2014 before they dumped her body on the Bintara toll road in Bekasi, West Java, where it was found by police two days later.

Hafitd, Assyifa and Sara graduated from the same public high school, the SMAN 36, in East Jakarta last year. Ade Sara was the only daughter of Suroto and Elizabeth Diana.

The murder trial of Ade Sara has been held at the Central Jakarta District Court since August 19, 2014. Presiding Judge Absoroh led the trial. (haryantos@yosefardi.biz)
