The Supreme Court sentenced on Tuesday a former Catholic priest from Maumere, East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) to death for premeditated murder.
A panel of justices comprising Timur Manurung, Gayus Lumbuun and Dudu Duswara, found Herman Jumat Masan, 45, guilty of the premeditated murder of Yosephine Kerodok Payong, or Mery Grace, and two infants from a relationship with Mery.
A district court in Maumere sentenced Herman to life in prison in August last year.
The panel concluded that the defendant was not only guilty of premeditated murder, but also of violating Article 181 of the Criminal Code for concealing evidence.
