This marks the second time police interviewed Novel after the first testimony was gathered by police back when he was treated at a hospital in Singapore, where he underwent a series of surgeries to treat his eyes.
Febri confirmed that Novel will be present and is scheduled at 10:00 Western Indonesia Time (WIB).
This marks 800 days that has passed following the acid attack that left Novel permanently damaged in one eye on April 11, 2017. At the time of the incident, the KPK investigator was assaulted on his walk home after attending a morning prayer at a Mosque nearby.
