JAKARTA - Deputy Governor of DKI Jakarta Ahmad Riza Patria admitted that he had only just learned that there were Jakarta residents who were victims of attacks by armed criminal groups (KKB) and died a few days ago.

Riza said the DKI Provincial Government through the DKI Social Service would provide assistance to the families of the victims who live in Central Jakarta.

"In principle, Social Services will definitely pay attention and care. In what form, how much, how will we coordinate with Social Services," Riza told reporters, Tuesday, March 15.

As is known, one of the victims died in the KKB attack named Syahril Nurdiansyah (21). Syahril is a resident of Sawah Besar District.

Syahril is an employee of PT Palapa Timur, Telematics (PTT) in the interior of the Beoga District, Puncak Regency, Papua Province.

The massacre of PT PTT employees took place on Wednesday, March 2, with one survivor named Nelson Sarira and eight victims dead.

The eight victims who died were three PTT employees, namely Billy Garibaldi, Renal Tegasye Surea, and Bona Simanulang; a citizen who guides Gogon or Bebi Tabuni; and four contractor employees, namely Jamaluddin, Syahril Nurdiansyah, Ibo, and Eko Septiansyah.

Nelson, who survived the attack, said that in the early hours of the morning around 03.00 WIT, the PTT employee camp was visited by about 10 KKB members.

Armed gangs carrying a number of sharp tools such as machetes, axes, and even carrying several firearms went straight to the PTT employee camp to carry out massacres of employees who were still fast asleep.

Nelson Sarira managed to escape so he could survive. From his hiding place, Nelson also heard gunshots at the PTT camp. Nelson only dared to return to the camp after making sure the situation was completely safe.
