JAYAPURA - The Jayapura District Attorney returned three M 16 firearms along with ammunition to the Papua Regional Police, which were previously evidence in court.

The handover of senpi was carried out on the sidelines of destroying evidence centered in the Jayapura Kejari yard in Jayapura, Monday, June 19.

Head of the Jayapura District Attorney's Office, Aleksander Sinuraya, said that apart from M 16 rifles, his party also returned pistols and hundreds of ammunition.

"It is true that three M16s and a gun and hundreds of ammunition have been handed back to the police after previously being used as evidence with the convict Dingen Tabuni who was arrested by the Jayapura Police in 2021," he said, quoted by ANTARA, Monday, June 19.

In addition to returning the senpi, various pieces of evidence from 82 cases were also destroyed which were handled by the Jayapura Kejari.

The 82 cases consisted of 34 cases of state security and public order with evidence in the form of long-barreled and short-barreled firearms, knives, machetes, wood, and other tools in the form of fermipan which is the raw material for making local liquor, as well as 48 drug cases.

"This extermination is the third time in 2023 and the most is marijuana," Aleksander explained.
