YOGYAKARTA - Staff of the Indonesian Embassy in Peru were shot by an unknown person while outside his residence in Agile, Lima. This incident immediately shocked the public and sparked the attention of the government.

The shooting raises big questions about the security of diplomats abroad. Until now, local officials together with the Indonesian Embassy have continued to carry out in-depth investigations to reveal the perpetrators and the motive for the shooting.

A staff member of the Embassy of the Republic of Indonesia (KBRI) in Lima, named Zetro Leonardo Purba (42), died after being the victim of a shooting on Monday night (1/9) local time.

Ironically, this tragic event occurred just a few meters from where he lived in the Agile area, Lima. Reporting from Antaranews, the following VOI summarizes the timeline for the chronology of the case:

Zetro Leonardo Purba (42), a staff member of the Indonesian Embassy in Lima, is cycling with his wife in the Agile area, Lima.

Suddenly an unknown perpetrator appeared who opened fire at Zetro. He was shot three times.

The victim's wife managed to survive the attack, while Zetro was seriously injured by gunfire.

Local residents helped take the victim to the nearest hospital. However, after receiving medical treatment, Zetro's life could not be saved.

The Peruvian Police immediately processed the crime scene and secured the victim's wife for protection.

Zetro has only served at the Indonesian Embassy in Lima for about five months, having previously been placed in the Indonesian Consulate General in Melbourne, Australia.

The Peruvian police are still investigating the motive for the shooting, while the Indonesian Embassy is coordinating with the local government to ensure the legal process runs.
