Indonesian lawyer Kamaruddin Simanjuntak, whose full name was Kamaruddin Hendra Simanjuntak, died on October 19, 2026, aged 52.
Born on May 21, 1974, he completed secondary school at SMA Negeri 1 Siborongborong in 1992 and then moved to Jakarta. Without money to rent a room, he lived beneath a bridge in Klender, East Jakarta, spending three months doing casual work to support himself.
In 1993, he found work as a customer-service employee at a restaurant. He later tried to establish a small business, which failed, and then worked in sales. Those experiences preceded his interest in becoming a lawyer and marked a route into the profession that began outside legal work. Simanjuntak handled cases connected with the Hambalang Athletes’ Village and the e-KTP corruption scandal. His legal work also included representing Muhammad Kece in a religious-blasphemy case. In the murder case of Brigadier Nofriansyah Yosua Hutabarat, he represented Hutabarat’s family. Together, these cases placed his work across corruption matters, a blasphemy case and a murder case, with roles representing both an individual and a victim’s family.
