Regarding the shooting of Brimob members on November 30, 2022, Ramadhan said KTH had been named a suspect because two pieces of evidence of involvement were found in the case.
"Currently, the leadership of the KKB KTH group alias PH has been handed over to investigators of the Cartenz Peace Operations investigation team and secured at the Directorate General Building of the Papua Police," he explained.
The arrest of KTH alias PH was investigated through the US, the suspect in the shooting of Brimob members on November 30, 2022, who had previously been arrested by the police.
"The investigation team assisted by Yahukimo Police investigators confirmed by showing the photo of KTH alias PH to the US," said Ramadhan.
The US later confirmed that the person in the photo was the KKB leader with the initials KTH alias PH. In addition, Ramadhan said the identity of KTH had also been confirmed based on population data tracing.
