JAKARTA - National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo confirmed that the investigation into the death of Brigpol HS, the personal aide to the North Kalimantan Police Chief (Kaltara) Inspector General of Police Daniel Aditya Jaya, was carried out transparently.

He stated that the National Police would prioritize scientific crime investigations or scientific crime investigations in its investigations.

"What is clear is that I have ordered the Kapolda, regarding the incident that occurred, to be thoroughly investigated. Take advantage of the scientific crime investigation that we have, so that the results can really be scientifically accounted for," said Sigit after the TNI's 78th Anniversary blood donation activity at Monas, Jakarta, Sunday, September 24, was confiscated by Antara.

The four-star general added that he had ordered Bareskrim, Puslabfor, as well as the Medical and Health Center (Pusdokkes) team to be involved in the investigation of the case.

"I have also ordered Bareskrim, Puslabfor, to support, our forensic doctors support; so that then the results can really be accounted to to the public and especially to the family. I think the Police are always transparent," explained Sigit.

Regarding the autopsy results of the body of Brigpol HS, who stated that the cause of death was a shot in the left chest and penetrated the heart, Listyo Sigit stated that he did not want to precede the results of investigations or investigations from the Kaltara Police and the Police Criminal Investigation Unit.

Currently, the former head of the Criminal Investigation Unit of the National Police said the investigation was still ongoing and the autopsy had just been carried out. So, he continued, it would be better to wait for the results after the entire series of examinations were completed.

"I also don't want to rush (concluding), because yesterday an autopsy was also being carried out, of course, outside the Labfor team autopsy will also work, and this will all become a unit which then becomes a conclusion in the results of the investigation whether this is a criminal element, or an element of negligence. Everything will certainly be obtained after the series is implemented," said Listyo Sigit.

Brigpol HS, a member of the North Kalimantan Police, was found dead in a room at the Kaltara regional police chief's official residence in Tanjung Selor, Bulungan Regency, North Kalimantan, Friday, September 22, at around 13.10 WITA. It is suspected that HS was negligent while cleaning the firearms.

Meanwhile, Daniel Aditya Jaya said HS served as his personal bodyguard and not as an aide.

A joint team from the Dirreskrimum, Propam, and Dokkes Polda Kaltara are still conducting an in-depth investigation to reveal the death of HS.

The Head of Humas Polda Kaltara Kombes Pol. Budi Rachmat emphasized that Brigpol HS died not because of suicide.

"Not suicide. Temporary suspicion, the victim was cleaning the firearms. So, due to negligence," said Budi.

Brigpol HS is a Banit 3 Subden 1 Den Gegana of the Brimob Unit of the North Kalimantan Police. Brigpol HS's body will be buried in his hometown in Semarang, Central Java.
