JAKARTA - The Forensic Team of the Kramat Jati Police Hospital, East Jakarta, is still coordinating with the National Police's Criminal Investigation Agency (Bareskrim) regarding the handling of the six bodies of FPI troops guarding Rizieq Shihab who were shot dead by the police.

"We are still intensively coordinating with Bareskrim. If it is related to developments, please confirm there," said Head of Forensics at the Police Hospital, Arif Wahyono, quoted by Antara, Tuesday, December 8.

However, Arif has not provided information on where the bodies are currently located and the extent of forensic handling of all bodies.
