JAYAPURA - The body of Pratu Agung Pramudi Laksono (27) a member of the Pamtas Mobile Task Force Yon 7 Marines of the TNI-AL who were victims of the KKB shooting are currently buried in the Dekai Koramil Hall, Yahukimo Regency, Papua Mountains.

Dandim 1715 Yahukimo Lt. Col. Inf. Tommy Yudistyo said the body of Pratu Agung Pramudi Laksono had now been buried and it was scheduled for Tuesday (22/8) to be evacuated to Jayapura to be brought to Jakarta.

The victim was shot in the back of the head and died on the way when he was evacuated to Dekai Hospital.

Reported by ANTARA, Monday, August 21, the incident experienced by the victim occurred at around 11.10 WIT at the Battalion 7/Marinir Task Force Post, which is a new post being built on Jalan Yahuli, Paradiso Bawah KM 6, Dekai District.

A shootout occurred between members of the Battalion 7/Marinir Task Force and the armed criminal group (KKB) Kodap XVI Yahukimo.

It is suspected that the cause of the firefight was because KKB Kodap XVI Yahukimo rejected the construction of the TNI-Polri Task Force post in the Yahukimo Regency area.

"Currently members of the TNI-Polri are on standby to anticipate the occurrence of a shooting case by the KKB," said Dandim 1715 Yahukimo Lt. Col. Inf. Tommy Yudistyo.
