Bandung –
Various events occurred in West Java today. From the disappointment of Dini’s family in Sukabumi over the remission granted by the state to Ronald Tannur, to a child in Sukabumi who died after his body was filled with many worms.
Here is a summary of today’s events in West Java:
Dini’s Family’s Disappointment Upon Learning Ronald Tannur Received Independence Day Remission
Gregorius Ronald Tannur, the convict in the death case of Dini Sera Afriyanti, received an 80th Independence Day remission. Ronald Tannur’s sentence was reduced by 90 days. Dini’s family expressed disappointment and concern over this matter.
The legal representative of Dini’s family, Dimas Yemahura, expressed his concern regarding the remission received by Ronald.
Moreover, Ronald’s family was previously deemed to have manipulated the law by bribing three judges of the Surabaya District Court, which initially resulted in an acquittal. However, the Supreme Court eventually annulled that acquittal on October 22, 2024, and sentenced Ronald to 5 years in prison.
“Personally, as the legal representative of Dini’s family, I am concerned about this remission. Considering how the law in Indonesia was violated by his actions. Moreover, if he gets remission, right now the family hasn’t received any restitution, let alone justice?,” said Dimas when contacted today.
Dimas stated that to this day, the family has not received any restitution for the case that resulted in Dini’s death.
“The family has not received any restitution at all to this day. Imagine a farm laborer seeking justice for her child in a state of law, being treated like this,” said Dimas.
He also questioned the remission given to Ronald, while the victim’s family has yet to receive justice.
“Is this what is called a free country if a murderer gets remission and the victim’s fate is ignored? Is this a state of law?,” he retorted.
Gregorius Ronald Tannur was one of 1,555 inmates at Salemba Prison in Jakarta who were granted the 80th Independence Day remission by the government. The remission was granted due to the inmates’ good behavior, participation in rehabilitation programs with good marks, and a perceived decrease in risk potential.
16 Buildings Burned and 21 Families Evacuated Due to Fire in Bandung
The Bandung City Fire and Rescue Department successfully extinguished a fire at a location on Jalan Cilentah No. 21, Burangrang, Bandung City, West Java, today.
The Acting Head of the Bandung City Fire and Rescue Department, M. Yusuf Hidayat, said that they received a report at 10:28 AM local time, and officers arrived at the scene within minutes, but the flames were already large.
“The Fire and Rescue Department was on location not long after to conduct extinguishing efforts. This is because the items burning were flammable, so the fire grew quickly,” said Yusuf at the fire location.
Yusuf revealed that the first building object to catch fire was a scrap warehouse, which then spread to residential areas. According to Yusuf, the flames also burned houses across the river. Thus, 16 buildings were burned in this incident.
“There are several stalls here, about eight stalls. Eight, and next to it, because the flames were quite large earlier, some were affected. Colleagues can see for themselves, three houses burned and one more was impacted, four more were impacted. And we are still conducting identification. Colleagues are still focused on extinguishing and rescue efforts,” he explained.
“And our rescue team is also checking whether there are any victims or not. The check is conducted until it is confirmed there are no victims,” he added.
In this incident, 13 fire trucks were deployed to the scene. The cause is still under investigation.
“The difficulty was actually the fairly narrow road access to the location, and during the fire, the wind was quite strong. So the fire spread easily from one building to another,” he said.
The Deputy Mayor of Bandung, Erwin, directly inspected the fire location and the temporary evacuation site for residents. He stated that
