JAKARTA - The head of Kompolnas, Inspector General (ret) Benny Mamoto, said that the family of Pastor Yeremia Zanambani has given permission to dig graves and carry out the autopsy process. This is to determine the cause of the death of the deceased.

"It is true that the family has given permission to carry out an autopsy on the body of Rev. Yeremias Zanambani," he told Antara, Thursday, February 19.

The Head of the Puncak Police has given permission from the family since last Friday, 12 February. The victim's wife and children, Miriam Zaoani, Yedida Zanambani and Rode Janambani, signed the agreement.

In the letter, the family asked that the autopsy be carried out at Hipadipa and witnessed by Komnas HAM, representatives of TGPF, community leaders, religious leaders, and PGI.

However, it is not certain when an autopsy can be performed. According to Benny, the implementation is being regulated by the Papua Police and the Intan Jaya Regent.

Benny Mamoto, who also chairs the Intan Jaya Fact Finding Joint Team (TGPF), said that with the permission of the family, it is hoped that it can reveal the cause of almahrum's death.

Previously the family had also given permission to dig up and carry out an autopsy on Pastor Jeremiah's body but it was later withdrawn so that it was canceled.

"Hopefully the permit that has been granted will not be withdrawn so that an autopsy can be carried out immediately by considering the security conditions at Intan Jaya," said Benny Mamoto. Pastor Yeremia Zanambani reportedly died from being shot on Saturday, September 19, 2020.
