As previously reported, the police had conducted polygraph tests on four suspects and one witness in the murder case of Brigadier J. The suspects are Bharada Richard Eliezer, Bripka Ricky Rizal, Strong Ma'ruf, and Putri Chandrawati. The witness is Susi, the domestic worker at Sambo's house.

Richard Eliezer, Ricky Rizal and Strong Ma'ruf passed the lie detector tests. The result of Putri and Susi's tests had not been revealed by the police.
