Kompolnas Says Result Of Police Case And Brigadier J's Family Agrees On Autopsy

JAKARTA - The Daily Chief of the National Police (Kompolnas) Benny Mamoto said that the process of investigating the alleged premeditated murder case reported by the family of Nopryansah Yosua Hutabarat alias Brigadier J had been completed. One of the results is an exhumation (grave digging) and a re-autopsy.

Kompolnas is the party involved in holding the case together with family lawyer Brigadier J and a team from the Directorate of General Crimes of the Criminal Investigation Unit of the Police.

"Because the lawyers asked for an exhumation (or, red) digging the grave and a re-autopsy, it will be scheduled that the exhumation will be carried out soon," said Benny to reporters, Wednesday, July 20.

The autopsy process will involve an independent forensic team. So, not only the Police are involved but there are also private parties or others.

With this agreement, said Benny, the Police have reflected an attitude of transparency in efforts to resolve this case.

"So later the team will involve independent forensics, not only from the National Police Health Center but also from the independent. This is a form of transparency that is being carried out," said Benny.

Brigadier J's family asked the National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo to form an independent team. The goal is to re-do the autopsy process by involving parties outside the Police.

The reason behind this request is because the family does not believe the autopsy results that have been presented by the Police.

"We ask the National Police Chief to form an independent team that involves other doctors," said Brigadier J's family lawyer, Kamaruddin Simanjuntak.
