“I was shocked. I mean, where in the world could a human do it? I read the newspapers because it has been a hot issue in Indonesia. It is beyond anyone’s minds for a person to take this kind of action to innocent people for whatever reason,” Tri said, recalling his reaction when he first learned of the deaths of Sumarti Ningsih, 23, and Seneng Mujiasih, 26.
“Back then, I came to the conclusion that the perpetrator was a psycho ... personally I want to see the most severe punishment possible.”
The High Court heard earlier that Sumarti was tortured for three days with a belt and sex toys, before Jutting cut her throat with a knife, sawing through so deep that she was almost decapitated.
Days later, Jutting picked up Seneng at a pub and brought her home, brutally slashing her throat when she saw props he had prepared and panicked.
