Last Phone Call of Brigadier J Before Death, His Lover Hears 'Rude' Voice

Dream - Vera Simanjuntak claimed to have had the last communication with her lover, Brigadier J or Nofriansyah Yosua Hutabarat, on July 7, 2022, a day before the murder at Ferdy Sambo's official residence in Duren Tiga, South Jakarta.

At that time, according to the story of Sambo and Putri's family lawyer, Brigadier J was in Magelang. Vera received the first call around 8:00 PM but did not have time to answer.

"I received an unanswered call, then I called again and it got disconnected," said Vera when testifying for defendants Ricky Rizal and Kuat Ma'ruf at the South Jakarta District Court, Wednesday, November 2, 2022.

A few moments after the disconnected call, Vera received four unanswered calls from Brigadier J's number. Strangely, she did not hear the phone ringing.

"Then suddenly there were four missed calls registered. Even though the calls didn't come through, but suddenly they were registered," explained Vera.

Half an hour later, around 8:30 PM, Brigadier J contacted Vera again. Brigadier J asked about Vera's whereabouts.

"After that, he called again at half past 9, I answered. He said, 'where are you, dear?'" Vera imitated Brigadier J.

Vera then faintly heard the phrase 'rude'. Curious, Vera found a safe place to ask more clearly who was meant by 'rude'.

"Then I asked again, why earlier? Rude. How rude? What's wrong? I don't know. Then I was threatened, how threatened? Who threatened? The squads here. What were you doing, dear? Did you hit mom?" said Vera, recounting her conversation with Brigadier J at that time.

Feeling that something was wrong, Vera only advised Brigadier J not to be afraid if he was innocent.

"I asked like that because it didn't make sense. He said, no, dear. If I'm not guilty, then I shouldn't be afraid. Just say if I didn't do anything to mom," Vera said. (merdeka.com)
