JAKARTA - The results of the autopsies on the two bodies of Brigadier J have been completed. However, the result, admitted that the team of forensic doctors encountered many obstacles.

One thing that can no longer be determined is the firing range of the bullets that killed Brigadier Nofriansyah Yosua Hutabarat or Brigadier J at Inspector General Ferdy Sambo's house.

"In terms of shooting range, we can't see anymore, yes, because the characteristics of the wounds that we found on the body at the time of the second autopsy, of course, the shape of the body at the first autopsy must have been cleaned," said Team Leader Forensic Doctor Ade Firmansyah, Monday 22 August.

"I can't be sure. From the pattern and characteristics of the wounds that we examined. We can't determine if this is a long-range or close or very close gunshot wound because the picture is the same," he said.

That's not all. The wounds and abrasions they found could no longer be fully analyzed. Because the color or shape is no longer in accordance with the original.

"So we can't determine whether this is estimated as a long-range or close-range gunshot wound or very close because the characteristics of the wounds on the body at this time cannot be intervened because they are not fresh," continued Ade.

The caliber that killed Brigadier J is also no longer determined. The shape of the wounds all over Brigadier J's body is no longer original.

"The presence of decay, or the provision of formalin to preserve the corpse will certainly change the shape of the wound," explained Ade.

"So we can't determine it again as before on a fresh corpse," he continued.
