PALU - Central Sulawesi Regional Police investigators finally arrested Bripka H, who was named a suspect in the shooting case at a protest against the Parigi Moutong mine.

The Head of Public Relations of the Central Sulawesi Police, Kombes Didik Supranoto, said that Bripka H had been officially detained since Tuesday, March 8. According to him, Bripka H was absent when he was called for an examination on the grounds of illness.

"Detained for the next 20 days. Bripka H, who is a member of the Parimo Police, has been questioned as a suspect by Ditreskrimum investigators after previously not being present and providing a sick certificate," explained Didik in Palu city, reported by AntaraWednesday.

Didik added that a team of investigators led by the Head of Sub-Directorate 1 of the Ditreskrimum of the Central Sulawesi Police, Kompol Ngadimin, was at the Parimo Police Station to re-examine the witnesses. The goal is to speed up the legal process.

"The detention was carried out after the ballistic test results showed that the projectile samples tested were identical to the projectiles found at the crime scene," explained Didik.

Meanwhile, Member of Commission III of the DPR RI, Sarifudin Sudding, added that in this legal process, the police also needed to examine the leaders in the field at that time. This is related to SOP violations and abuse of authority.

According to him, the police need to reveal the reason why Bripka H opened fire, causing the death of Erfaldi alias Aldi, 21, a resident of Tada Village.

"The suspect is also a leader in the field and must be held accountable according to the level of error committed," he said when contacted on Wednesday, March 9.

"When there is an order to fire, the leadership in the field must be held accountable because the members carry out the orders from their superiors," he added.

Sarifudin hopes that the shooting case in Parigi Moutong will be completed and the public is asked to continue to trust the police who carry out this legal process.

"Let the police work and we wait for the results to be submitted by the Central Sulawesi Regional Police," he hoped.
