Indonesian Consul General in Kuching Yonny Tri Prayitno on 8 September 2021 confirmed the consulate offered legal and repatriation assistance to Indonesian Ical Samerin, 36, whose death penalty verdict was overturned in the Court of Appeal in Miri, Sarawak.
"He was arrested by the Miri Police on 2 May 2017, on charge of murder of an Indonesian (claimed to be his wife), an offence carrying a maximum charge of death penalty in the country," Consul Prayitno noted in his written statement received by ANTARA in Pontianak, West Kalimantan.
Prayitno remarked that Samerin was earlier sentenced to death by hanging during a trial in the High Court in Miri on 20 May 2020. The Consulate General then appealed against the verdict in the Court of Appeal, with the hearing held on 23 August 2021.
"The Consulate General provides legal assistance to Samerin by appointing a lawyer for him. Through the lawyer's assistance and defence for him, the Appeal Court found him innocent and acquitted him of all charges," the consul stated.
Following the successful appeal, Samerin was transferred to an immigration depot in Bekenu, Sarawak, pending deportation to Indonesia. The immigration officials brought Samerin to the Consulate General for immigration administration procedures on 7 September 2021.
