Kompolnas: Theory of 3 Police Officers Fleeing into River Unproven; They Were Murdered First and Dumped

The National Police Commission (Kompolnas) has investigated the deaths of three police officers in Katingan, Central Kalimantan, finding evidence that contradicts the initial theory of drowning. The officers, who were part of an operation targeting a drug ring, were initially presumed to have drowned after fleeing into a river.

“

The thesis that the victims fled into the river and then drowned is not proven. Instead, it is disproven by the facts here, where we found bloodstains that then ended in the river.

However, Kompolnas Commissioner Supardi Hamid stated that findings at the scene, particularly bloodstains found near where one of the bodies was discovered, indicate a different sequence of events. These bloodstains led to the river, suggesting the officers were attacked and injured before entering the water.

"The thesis that the victims fled into the river and then drowned is not proven," Hamid said in a video message. "Instead, it is disproven by the facts here, where we found bloodstains that then ended in the river."

This shows that the victims were finished off, killed before they were thrown into the river.

Based on this evidence, Kompolnas concluded that the officers were murdered before their bodies were disposed of in the river. Hamid characterized the act as intentional killing by the drug ring members, emphasizing the deliberate nature of the crime.

This clearly falls into the category of intentional killing by the drug ring group. Because the perpetrators finished off the police officers and threw them into the river.
