PAPUA - The Papuan Regional Police suspected that there was an attempted arson in the attack by a number of residents on the Tolikara Police. The attack left one resident shot dead and 8 others injured.
"Indeed, on the outside of the Tolikara Police Headquarters, a jerry can of gasoline was found which was suspected to be used to burn buildings," said the Director of Criminal Investigation at the Papua Police, Kombes Pol Faizal Rahmadani, in Jayapura, Papua, Wednesday, December 21, as reported by Antara.
