JAKARTA - Commander of Fleet Command (Pangkoarmada) III Rear Admiral Hersan ordered the Commander of the Indonesian Navy Military Police Main Base of the Indonesian Navy (Lantamal) XIV Sorong Lieutenant Marine Colonel (PM) Dian Sumpena to immediately process the law against soldiers of murder in Sorong, Southwest Papua.

The statement by Pangkoarmada III refers to the case involving a TNI AL soldier from Koarmada III with the rank of class (KLS) initials A.

"I have directed the XIV Sorong Lantamal Pomal to be processed as soon as possible, we will immediately transfer it to the military court in Jayapura," said Pangkoarmada III in Sorong, Southwest Papua, Tuesday, January 14, which was confiscated by Antara.

The Indonesian Navy soldier is believed to be the perpetrator of the murder of a woman with the initials KIYL (20 years), whose body was found by residents at Saoka Beach, Sorong, Southwest Papua, on Sunday 12 January.

"Because the punishment determines the punishment is the Military Military Director in Jayapura, but the initial investigation will be carried out by the XIV Sorong Lantamal Police," he said.

Hersan deeply regrets the murder that has been carried out by Indonesian Navy soldiers because the leadership of the Indonesian Navy always emphasizes the enforcement of the rules and there are no soldiers who violate the rules.

"It was a decision and the direction of the leadership was very clear, but it was still violated by this irresponsible person. This is very unfortunate for us," he said.

He ensured that the Indonesian Navy would also impose severe sanctions on Indonesian Navy soldiers who were the perpetrators of the murder of KIYL (20) on Saoka Beach, Sorong City.

Pangkoarmada also has not confirmed the motive behind the murder case, but has confirmed that the investigation team from Pomal Lantamal XIV Sorong continues to investigate to find out for sure the motive for the murder.

It is suspected that the perpetrator took the victim's life using a balance. This can be seen on the victim's body where there were several stab wounds.

"It is not justified, there is nothing, we are prohibited from carrying sharp weapons, be it a gun or a circle, including consuming alcohol and entering nightclubs," he said.

Hersan also reminded all Indonesian Navy personnel not to repeat the murder incident involving members of the Indonesian Navy.

"I remind all members not to happen again, this is the last time," he said.

Sorong Police Chief Kombes Police, Happy Perdana Yudianto, on the previous occasion said that his party had coordinated with Pomal to complete the investigation file and then handed it over to Pomal to carry out further proceedings against the perpetrators of the murder.

"We only complete the initial files because the beginning of the crime scene was us and this will certainly help the investigation of the Navy," he said.
