Dream - Although the police have confirmed that all convicts in the Eky and Vina Cirebon cases have been arrested, the polemic surrounding the tragic event continues to unfold. Several new facts are beginning to emerge, such as the confession made by Samsuri (40), a resident whose house is located near the Scene of the Crime (TKP) of Vina Cirebon's murder. Samsuri denies Aep's statement, a key witness who claimed to have seen Pegi and his friends throwing stones at Vina's motorcycle and Eky.

When it happened, Aep admitted that he wanted to buy cigarettes at the shop next to SMP 11 Cirebon or near the car wash showroom where he works. "In 2016, the situation at Jalan Perjuangan was quiet, not as crowded as it is now," said Samsuri, Friday, May 31, 2024, quoted from Liputan6.com. Samsuri said that at that time, there was only a cigarette shop at the intersection of the pelandakan area. Meanwhile, other shops usually close in the afternoon.

"In front of the car wash where Aep used to work, there was no cigarette stall at all. It's not that it wasn't open, but it really didn't exist," said Samsuri. Samsuri revealed that he knew some of the perpetrators who are now imprisoned for approximately eight years. Some of the perpetrators known by Samsuri are Hadi, Eko, Saka, and Sudirman. Samsuri denied that the perpetrators he knew were part of a motorcycle gang."

A few days before being arrested, Samsuri continued, Hadi and Eko had met him. At that time, Hadi and Eko admitted that they were going to raid someone. "Then I asked, what is the problem, and both answered that at the car wash where Aep works, someone brought a woman (suspected of adultery)," he explained.

"The person's name was Mr. Pasren at that time. I talked to Mr. Pasren and he agreed to participate in the raid. So, the ones who participated in the raid were Eko, Hadi, me, my two brothers-in-law, and Mr. Pasren, a total of 6 people," he said. After gathering, they walked to the workshop, knocked on the door, and it was opened by Aep."

"Initially, we confirmed by asking if there were any girls inside, Aep and his friend denied it. We didn't believe them and we searched, there were 2 girls in the bathroom," said Samsuri. "Only then did a number of residents become emotional. Honestly, when they saw that there were indeed girls, some residents even threw chairs, but me and Mr. RT prevented the residents from continuing actions that would cause harm," he added."

Samsuri said, residents then called the head of the neighborhood association to mediate. The head of the neighborhood association came and asked about the presence of two women in the car wash showroom where Aep works. Moreover, he said, residents even warned Aep not to engage in such behavior. Because, he said, it would tarnish the reputation of the village.

Samsuri asserts that Hadi and Eko are not part of a motorcycle gang. Both of them work as construction workers and are known to be polite to the surrounding residents. "During the incident on the night (August 27, 2016), I didn't hear any commotion, it was safe here, there was no incident, it wasn't crowded. If it were crowded, the neighborhood association (RT and RW) would definitely report it," he said.
