The Belu Police Investigative Team reported that the number of witnesses examined related to the discovery of human finger pieces in vegetable foods in Belu Regency increased. "We are examining again two witnesses regarding the discovery of the human finger," said Head of Criminal Investigation Unit of Belu Police, Iptu Djafar Awad Alkatiri when contacted from Kupang NTT, quoted from Antara, Friday, December 16. This was conveyed by him in connection with the case of finding human finger pieces in lodeh vegetables after a man in Belu district bought them at a shop in the area. The two witnesses who were examined, he said, were from the stall and another employee from the place where the tofu was made was used for vegetables. He explained that with the examination of the two witnesses, now there are seven witnesses who have been examined by the local police investigation team. Currently, the human finger pieces have been taken to Kupang City for forensic tests by a team of doctors from Bhayangkari Hospital, Belu Police Chief AKBP Yosep Krisbianto said a number of witnesses had been questioned regarding the discovery of the human finger. "We have examined several witnesses, including the owner of the shop that sold the vegetables," he said. Apart from the shop owner, the investigation team has also examined the owner of the tofu factory, but the results are still nil because no one knows the origin of the finger. Not only that, the police have also examined several employees who worked in the shop, but no cuts were found on each finger. "We have asked the doctor directly, and there has been confirmation from the doctor that it is true a human finger cut," he said.
