BANDUNG, LITERASIHUKUM.COM - Two decisions of the Bale Bandung District Court in the Budhi Rismawan murder case need to be highlighted because they contain sentencing anomalies. In case No. 151/Pid.B/2025/PN Blb on behalf of Marhaban Basyar alias Bam and case No. 152/Pid.B/2025/PN Blb on behalf of Dodi Supriadi, the panel of judges imposed the same sentence, namely imprisonment for 12 years, even though the position of the two in the criminal offense was juridically different.

Marhaban Basyar was the main perpetrator who directly thrust the knife into the victim's body, causing the victim to die. Meanwhile, Dodi Supriadi was positioned as an accomplice based on Article 56 paragraph (2) of the Criminal Code because he was considered to have provided the means and opportunities for murder.

The bloody tragedy behind alcohol and pawned motorcycles

This incident started in October 2024, when the victim, Budhi Rismawan, was involved in a conflict with Marhaban Basyar (aka Bam) and Dodi Supriadi. The root of the problem was that the victim's motorcycle had been pawned by the defendants to buy alcohol.

The climax occurred on October 24, 2024. Feeling hurt because he had previously been beaten by the victim, Bam invited Dodi to visit the victim's house. On the way, Dodi gave his knife to Bam as preparation. Upon arrival at the location, a fight broke out. Bam stabbed the victim once in the stomach until he died, while Dodi stood next to him to ensure the action was successful by asking, "Bam, has it been stabbed yet?" before finally the two ran away.
