KNews.id- The following is a report from the TEMPO KEGADUHAN newspaper breaking the silence of the wet night at the Kilometer 50 Rest Area at the Jakarta-Cikampek Toll Road, Monday morning, 7 December.
Almost all eyes are on the Chevrolet Spin without the left front tire. Brak. The minibus then crashed into the Toyota Corolla at the exit access area. Within seconds, a number of armed men surrounded the car which was later identified as Rizieq Syihab's escort vehicle.
Two people in the Chevrolet Spin are thought to have died and four others were arrested. It is the last hour of their life. At around 03.00, the six bodies of the members of the Islamic Defenders Front arrived at the National Police Hospital in Kramat Jati, Jakarta.
A witness at the Kilometer 50 Rest Area told Tempo about the arrest. He saw three people face down on the asphalt. One of them then got a kick in the head.
"Before being kicked, there was a sound of 'geez, sir'," he told the Tempo coverage team in a city outside Jakarta, last Wednesday morning.
It was not easy for him to share that testimony. This is because the identities of each merchant in the breakout area were recorded by the police, while the manager asked them to shut up. With the help of an intermediary, it took TEMPO more than a week to convince him to be willing to be interviewed by voice and video recordings.
We did not write down several statements that strengthen the testimony because they could lead to the disclosure of the witness's identity. A number of questions were asked repeatedly at separate times and the answers were consistent.
According to witnesses, the police in black uniforms checked the cell phones of many people in the KM 50 Rest Area that night to make sure there were no photos and video recordings. He said a group of officers, including those in civilian clothes, were at the location about seven hours before the arrests.
The following is an excerpt from the interview.
