JAKARTA - The National Police stated that the process of exhumation and autopsy in the context of an investigation is indeed open. However, that does not mean all information will be conveyed clearly.

This information disclosure is regulated in Article 17 of Law Number 8 of 2014. So there are certain limitations.

"In Article 17, information disclosure has exceptions and limitations, yes, because it is for the investigation and investigation process," said Head of the Public Relations Division of the National Police Inspector General Dedi Prasetyo at Sungai Bahar Hospital, Wednesday, July 27.

Later, all the results of the investigation and investigation into the case of Brigadier J's death will be presented in court. Thus, the panel of judges will weigh all the available evidence.

"Later, the results will be revealed at the trial. It will be tested later by the judge whether all the evidence presented by the investigator at the trial is in accordance with the events that occurred," he said.

However, Dedi invited an external party to oversee the re-autopsy process. This is also in accordance with the direction of the National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo.

"Yes, external supervisors are welcome, the families who represent are also welcome, but once again the exhumation was carried out by the competent authorities. The authorities in this case are investigators because this is for investigation purposes," said Dedi.

For information, the Police carried out an exhumation and re-autopsy on Brigadier J's body. This was done because there was a request from the family who believed that there was an element of premeditated murder behind the case.

The autopsy process on Brigadier J's body will be carried out at the Sungai Bahar Regional General Hospital (RSUD), Muaro Jambi.
