The police shot dead a man identified as Agustinus Tabuni, 24, believed to be a member of an armed group led by Murib, during a patrol in Jenggernok hamlet, Gome district, Puncak Jaya regency on Tuesday.

“During the patrol, a joint team of police and military officers saw three men carrying armed weapons. We chased them; two managed to escape while one was shot as he tried to shoot the officers,” Papua Police spokesman Sr. Comr. Rudolf Patrick said.

He said the police also seized a revolver and ammunition.

Witnessed by local leaders, Patrick said the body of Agustinus was cremated at the scene after being identified.

“Local leaders knew that the body was Agustinus Tabuni who was a member of the Murib group,” he said.
