Biography edit
He served as a justice of the Supreme Court of Indonesia from 2011 until his death from COVID-19 on 10 December 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia.[1]
In January 2020, he became a law professor at Langlangbuana University.[2] He also held lectures on the role of the Supreme Court in appeals cases within the Indonesian justice system.[1]
Duswara received his bachelor's degree from Langlangbuana University in Bandung. He then completed both his master's degree and doctorate at Padjadjaran University.[1]
Prior to joining the Supreme Court in 2011, Duswara oversaw corruption trials in the Central Jakarta District Court.[1] In 2014, Justice Duswara made national headlines when he sentenced Herman Jumat Masan, a former pastor from Maumere, Flores, East Nusa Tenggara, to death for the murder of his girlfriend and both of their children.[3] Duswara's ruling overturned Jumat Masan's earlier sentences of life in prison, which had been handed down by the Maumere District Court and the Kupang High Courts in East Nusa Tenggara.[1]
Duswara died from COVID-19 during the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia at Sentosa Asih Hospital in Bandung, West Java, on December 10, 2020, at the age of 69.[1][2]
