TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The Tangerang District Court rendered death penalty to two suspects of Eno Farihah murder case, Rahmat Arifin bin Hartono and Imam Hapriadi.


"[The court] imposed death penalty to two of the defendants, Imam and Arifin," panel of judges chairman M. Irfan Siregar said during the reading of the verdict at the Tangerang District Court on Wednesday, February 8, 2017.


The panel of judges declared that the two defendants convincingly committed a premeditated murder. The panel of judges considered that the death penalty was delivered, since the defendants were sadistic and vile, caused trauma to the victim's family, refused to plead guilty, and did not regret their action.


"We did not find any reasons to lighten the sentence," Irman added.


When reading the verdict, Irfan temporarily adjourned the trial since Eno's mother and families were crying in the court. Meanwhile, the two defendants seemed calm and did not show any emotions.


Prosecutor Agus Kurniawan said that the verdict was in line with his demand.


"We will file an appeal against defendant’s appeal, but we’re going to report to our superior. The verdict is in accordance with the charge," Agus told Tempo after the trial.


The defendants' lawyer Sunardi said that he would think about measures to be taken in relation to the verdict.


Eno Farihah, 19, a worker at PT Polyta Global Mandiri was brutally murdered in an employee housing in Tangerang on Thursday night, May 14, 2016.


Another defendant RA, 15, was sentenced to 10 years in prison.
