Part 11/14:
Dimas Kanjeng's trial attracted nationwide attention. The court proceedings lasted for months, with hundreds of spectators including followers eager for justice. The prosecution argued that Dimas had ordered the murders of Abdul Gani and Ismail, motivated by fear of exposure or loss of control over his wealth and followers.
The court convicted Dimas Kanjeng of multiple crimes, including murder, fraud, and illegal money collection. Sentenced to life imprisonment, the judiciary highlighted the brutality and premeditation involved. His followers, most of whom were women or elders, continued to believe in his innocence or the spiritual power they attributed to him, despite the court rulings.
