.SOLO – As quoted from detik.com, Tuesday (21/09) "The police stated that Yuki Wantoro a resident of Tempen, Joyosuran, Solo, was one of the culprits in the CIMB Bank robbery in Medan. He was shot dead by the police at the time of the arrest attempt."
This however is disputed by the brother of Yuki Wantoro (20), Yudi Mansur (34). Yudi said that at the time of the said CIMB Bank robbery in Medan on 18th August 2010, his brother Yuki Wantoro was at their house in Joyosuran, Solo.
Met by MuslimDaily at a masjid in the area of Tipes, Surakarta, Tuesday night (21/09) Yudi Mansur said that his brother Yuki Wantoro arrived at their house on 17th August 2010. Yuki had planned to make a KTP (Identity Card). The proof that his brother was at home at that time was the photo of Yuki in Yudi Mansur's handphone taken on 19th August 2010. The body pass photo was to be used for Yuki’s new KTP. The photograph taken through the mobile phone was dated as 19/8/2010. This proves that the police’s accusation that Yuki Wantoro was one of the CIMB Bank robbers is not true, according to Yudi Mansur.
"At the time of the robbery he (Yuki) was at home," Yudi said. According to Yudi, his brother only knew about the CIMB Bank robbery when the news about it came out on TV. Then about a week before 'Eid Fitr, Yuki departed for Jakarta to work together with a friend from Padang to sell cloths before the 'Eid.

Janaza of Yuki Wantoro will be Buried in Solo
Yudi Mansur, the eldest brother of Yuki Wantoro who was shot dead by the Densus 88 in North Sumatra, said that if the janaza is truly his brother's, then he would be buried Islamicaly in the cemetery specific for Muslims in Solo city.
Yudi knew about the news from a friend who was watching the TV. Yudi's friend asked if the killed person was Yuki after seeing the photo shown on TV.
As reported previously, Yuki Wantoro was one of the three victims who were shot dead in the attack by the Densus 88 team in North Sumatra 3 days ago. The police said that Yuki Wantoro was one of the robbers who robbed the CIMB Bank, but it was objected by Yuki's brother i.e. Yudi Mansur because during the time of the robbery, Yuki was at his parents' house in Solo.
Photos of Raid on “Terrorists” in Medan Circulating on the Internet
JAKARTA - The Densus 88 team seized 4 people who are suspected as "terrorists" in the village of Tanjung Bunga, Tanjung Balai Asahan, which is 317 Km away from Medan on sunday (19/9/2010) .
The statement of the police about the incident of gunfights during the arrest in the house rented by Khairul Ghazali in Kota Tanjung Balai, was rebutted the family. Investigations done by the family showed that no one had heard anything to indicate that there had been gunfights in that house.
Adil Akhyar, a younger brother of Ghazali, pointed that the arrest was laden with fabrications. Including the issue of weapons found by the Densus 88 in the house of Ghazali during the arrest in Tanjung Bunga, Kota Tanjung Balai, North Sumatra.
“We assess that the Police Chief has casted a big lie. There was no gunfight and there was no human shield. As it was inside a house, of course there would be children and a wife in the house, they were not human shield,” Adil told the reporters in Medan, Tuesday (21/9/2010).
The families strongly believe that the firearms which are of the AK-47 type, a pistol of the FN type, as well as a bayonet which were reported by the Police Chief, General Bambang Hendarso Danuri (BHD), as having been found in Ghazali's house, could have been indeed brought by the police and placed there. And then declared as evidence.
The reason being, he said, Ghazali is most unlikely to have anything to do with weapons, he works as a tabib (traditional healer) and he also writes. Ghazali, who had stayed in Malaysia for almost 10 years before moving to Kota Tanjung Balai, has an experience as a journalist for a publication there.
Besides that, the families are also questioning, where is Ghazali's wife and children now? The Densus took along Ghazali's wife, Cicih (35) and four children. Including one of the children who is only about 1 month old.
“We don't know where Ghazali, his wife and the children are, we are very concerned,” Adil said.
With regard to the people who were shot dead at Ghazali's house, Adil said that they were guests who came to visit during 'Eid. As a tabib, Ghazali met many people and some of them came for Silaturrahim.
A few days after the raid, photos from the raid were circulating on the internet. Besides the release of photos, some irregularities in the brutal action of the Densus 88 began to be exposed. One victim who was shot dead by the Densus 88 team, Yuki Wantoro, was said by the family as not the culprit in the CIMB Bank robbery which was linked with "terrorism". A brother of Yuki Wantoro said that his brother was at home in Solo when the robbery in Medan took place and that Yuki knew about the robbery from the TV news.
Below are the photos circulating on the internet:

Yuki Wantoro's Wife's Testimony
MEDAN – The incident of Yuki Wantoro's murder by the Densus some time ago, not only caused grief in his family but there is also someone who is very shocked and sad with the death of Yuki Wintoro by the bullets of the Densus. Just imagine, they had only been married for 3 days, she already had to let him die in front of her.
She is Tri Lestari, an akhwat aged 24 years old, originating from Medan. She wanted to share her grief with us. She began the conversation by saying a very heartbreaking phrase to us, "I really miss my husband," thus she said.
Then she continued, "At first I was doubtful, is my husband really shaheed or not?" and she continued, "But when the doubt came, suddenly there was a bird that looks like an eagle at the room where we were detained, it flew around above our room," she explained with great enthusiasm.
"This is a sign, yeah?" We could only answer, "wallahu'alam ukhty". Presumably, according to us, the incident that she experienced is no different than the incident that happened a few years ago when the Trio Ash-Shaheed (Imam Samudra, Amrozy & Ali Ghufran) were to be buried. There were three birds at their residences and many are interpreting it as one of the signs of the martyrdom of those three warriors of Islam. Wallahua'lam
We can only pray so that ukhty Tri Lestari could attain shahadah and be placed in the best of places, and that what she dreams may come true. Allahumma ameen.
Lastly, ukhty Tri Lestari is very eager to depart from Medan to Solo in order to see her husband for the last time. May everything will be eased for her and may she be given the best of patience by Allah SWT.
