Jakarta – The joint fact-finding team (TGPF) continues to investigate the shooting case of Pastor Yeremia Zanbani in Intan Jaya, Papua. Now, TGPF has succeeded in convincing the family to approve the autopsy of Pastor Jeremiah’s body.

“Today TGPF succeeded in convincing the family of Pastor Yeremia Zanambani to carry out an autopsy and sign the police investigation report,” said TGPF Chairman Benny Mamoto in a written statement received by detik.com, Sunday (11/10/2020).

Benny said that previously the family refused an autopsy. After obtaining permission from the family, the police will immediately conduct an examination of the body.

“Previously, the victim’s family did not want to sign the BAP from the police. An autopsy will be carried out on another occasion,” he explained.

“We will do this until evening, so we will continue to pursue this target until it is achieved,” he said.

In addition, TGPF has carried out a number of investigative efforts. Among them, visited the location of the shooting scene, visited the cemetery and church, met the victims’ families and asked other witnesses in the field.

“All the information we get will be analyzed, we will evaluate, then we will report it to the Coordinating Minister for Politics, Law and Security as the person in charge,” he said.

Benny also revealed that there were a number of obstacles during the investigation. For that, he also gave his appreciation to the TNI-Polri for always maintaining security and helping the team solve various problems.

“Indeed, the terrain conditions are very heavy, then the limitations of transportation-communication are all obstacles,” he explained.
