The investigation into the mysterious death of Nofriansyah Yosua Hutabarat has taken a new course with the National Police now focusing on the alleged cover-up carried out by dozens of officers initially assigned to resolve the high-profile murder case.

Yosua, widely known as Brigadier J, was killed at the residence of the police’s then-internal affairs chief, Insp. Gen. Ferdy Sambo, on July 8 in what the police initially claimed was a fatal shootout between Yosua and another police officer identified as Bharada E after an alleged attempt by the former to sexually harass Ferdy’s wife in her bedroom.

In a new twist, the National Police on Thursday charged Bharada E, his full identity revealed as Second Agent (Bharada) Richard Eliezer, with killing Yosua and on Saturday night detained Ferdy over evidence tampering allegations.
