"Dream - Pegi Setiawan, also known as Perong, has been named a suspect in the murder case of Vina Cirebon, which occurred in 2016. After being on the run for 8 years, Pegi was arrested in Bandung, West Java, on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. However, the arrest of Pegi did not immediately bring relief to the public. This is because many believe that Pegi is a victim of mistaken identity."

Bondol, Pegi's coworker in Bandung, confirmed that Pegi Setiawan was a victim of mistaken identity. He stated that Pegi never changed his name to Robi Irawan. "It's strange that Pegi would change his identity because Robi is Pegi's brother. At that time, Robi was also in Bandung," said Bondol, as quoted from Jabar Ekspres.

Bondol said, at the time of the incident, Pegi was in Bandung working on his father's construction project. "So, from Cirebon, there was me (Suharsono), Pegi (Setiawan), Ibnu, Suparman, and Pegi's father," he said. During the incident, Bondol continued, he went back to Cirebon because he didn't feel comfortable working there. Meanwhile, Pegi was still in Bandung working with his father.

"I went with Suparman, he took me on a public minibus. I then went to (Terminal) Leuwipanjang, took a Goodwill bus to Cirebon," he said. Bondol stated that he was dropped off at kilometer 202 of Tol Palikanci or right under the Tol Talun bridge at 23.00 WIB."

"Bondol admitted to being surprised when suddenly the police came to Pegi Setiawan's house and began conducting an examination. Therefore, he is convinced that his friend is a victim of mistaken identity. 'His parents were surprised, even though I had mentioned at that time that Pegi was in Bandung. I was the one who returned, Pegi took me by public transportation to Leuwipanjang,' he said."

Now that Pegi Setiawan has been declared a suspect, Bondol confesses that he is ready to defend his friend. He is certain that Pegi, also known as Perong, is not involved because he was not in Cirebon at the time of the incident. "I am willing to testify that Pegi was in Bandung at the time of the incident. So I am confident that he is not the perpetrator. I am ready to defend him because Pegi is only accused. He was not in Cirebon," he emphasized.
