Kartini also mentioned the name Aep, a key police witness who was considered to have given false testimony. "I will fight no matter what happens because my child is innocent. Aep, how could you be so heartless with that false testimony," she said. "Please, Sir, my child did nothing wrong in this case, why did my child become a suspect," she continued.

"Kartini also requested the West Java Regional Police to release her son, Pegi Setiawan, as he is innocent in the case. \u201cI can't say anything. Mother will fight for you, dear. Mama will fight with all her strength to free you from that police detention center, dear," she said."

"Mama swears by Allah, dear, mama will fight back because you are not guilty, that's all," Kartini concluded while crying on the porch of her house. In a press conference on Sunday, May 26, 2024, the West Java Police referred to Pegi Setiawan, also known as Perong, as the mastermind behind Vina Cirebon's murder."

Dirkrimum of West Java Police, Commissioner Pol Surawan, said that Pegi managed to escape to Katapang, Bandung Regency. He went to his biological father's boarding house. There, he was introduced as Robi Irawan, not as a son, but as a nephew. For 8 years, Pegi worked together with his father as a construction worker. Pegi's identity was finally revealed after one of the convicts decided to confess to the police. Previously, they were afraid to reveal Pegi's identity.
