JAKARTA - The forensic doctor team presented the results of the second autopsy of Brigadier J or Nofriansyah Yosua Hutabarat which was carried out at Sungai Bahar Hospital, Muaro Jambi on July 27, 2022. Apparently, there were no injuries from violence other than gunshot wounds.

The head of the forensic doctor team, Ade Firmansyah, said there were 5 gunshot wounds based on the direction the bullets entered and 4 gunshot wounds due to the exit trajectory.

"However, what was fatal were two gunshot wounds to the head and chest," Ade told reporters at the National Police's Criminal Investigation Unit, Monday (22/8).

As for the wounds on the left ring finger and little finger, which the family had asked about, Ade emphasized that it was not a violent wound, but a bullet trajectory.

Ade's statement is somewhat different from that of Brigadier J's family lawyer, Kamarudin Simanjuntak on July 30, 2022.

Kamarudin once said that apart from gunshot wounds, based on the autopsy results, there were also injuries suspected of being assault wounds on Brigadier J.

Among other things, an open fracture in the left little finger. An open wound between the lower and upper sides of the left ring finger, contusion on the left wrist parallel to the thumb, and blood seeping in the tissue under the fingernail of the ring and little finger.

Then, an open wound on the flat edge of the base of the white bone below the outer side above the ankle and a black bruise on the left inner thigh crease.

“Then, at the mouth of the lower jaw bone was broken. However, the mouth cannot be opened on external examination. We used to ask why his jaw was dislocated, was it because of violence or because of gunshots. But the cause has not been found. Also, why is the right leg bent," said Kamarudin.

Kamarudin received the autopsy results from two family doctors, Brigadier J, who joined the team of forensic doctors in the autopsy process.

"That's when negotiations took place. Initially legal advisors were allowed to witness the autopsy, families were also allowed to witness, but they were not allowed to shift on the grounds of violating the medical code of ethics. So, only those who are doctors or medical personnel are allowed to see. Finally, we asked for doctors Martina and Herlina Lubis as masters of health as representatives of the family or legal advisors, "explained Kamarudin.

“Everything was recorded, including the size, the depth of the hole. So, not the writings of our representatives, but the agreement of the results of other doctors who were in the operating room at the autopsy. Everything has been notarized,” Kamarudin added.

The gunshot wounds that Kamarudin mentioned were also only 4 gunshot wounds. One of them, behind the head to penetrate the nose.

"On the back of the head there is a small lump of glue marks. When the glue was opened, it turned out that there was a hole, the hole was probed or stabbed with a tool such as a chopstick to the eye, but it was probed to the nose and it turned out to be transparent, "said Kamarudin.

Then, there was a gunshot wound to the jawbone that penetrated into Brigadier J's right lip, a gunshot wound to the left chest, and a gunshot wound to the wrist that penetrated 6 cm deep.

However, according to Kamarudin, what he said at that time was only a temporary note.

“Still need further research. For example, to find out from the same gun or not and others," he said.

Brigadier J's Second Autopsy According to Procedure

Ade Firmansyah ensured that the team of forensic doctors in carrying out the second autopsy of Brigadier J had worked according to procedures without any pressure.

"We can confirm with the best forensic science through supporting examinations with lighting and microscopic results, that there are no signs other than gun violence on the victim's body," said Ade.

"We are independent here, impartial and not influenced by anything and we can assure you that there is no pressure whatsoever on us," added Ade.

Currently, the results of the second autopsy of Brigadier J have been submitted to the Criminal Investigation Department on Monday (22/8).

As previously reported, a re-autopsy was requested by Brigadier J's family lawyer team. The family suspects that Brigadier J's death was not due to a shootout.

When allowed to open the coffin, the family found sharp weapon wounds, cuts, and bruises from beatings all over Brigadier J.

"That is, if there is an incision wound, it means it is not a gunshot wound, but torture and premeditated murder that results in the death of another person or murder or severe maltreatment resulting in the death of another person," said Kamarudin Simanjuntak to VOI last July 19.
