The Head of Public Relations of the Bali Police, Kombes Jansen Avitus Panjaitan, emphasized that the news of foreign nationals (WNA) from Mexico who shot police officers in Bali to death was a hoax.

Previously, viral news circulated on social media with the Kompas TV logo and the title "It is suspected that he was upset that he was asked for additional money when he was ticketed by tourists from Mexico who shot a police officer to death, according to witnesses at the crime scene the perpetrators used Desert Eagle weapons".

"That's hoax news and a lie," said Kombes Jansen in a written statement, Friday (14/6).

The Bali Police immediately coordinated with the Head of Kompas in Bali. Kompas certainly did not contain the news. Kompas TV logo is painted in hoax news.

"We deeply regret the hoax news. And we deeply regret the irresponsible person making news like that and disturbing the public and cornering the police in the news," he said.

"We have also coordinated with the Bali Police Ditreskrimsus cyber, to track down the account. We urge the public not to easily believe or be provoked by hoax news or lies that cannot be accounted for like that. Let's be wise in social media," said Kombes Jansen.
