Jayapura, Papua. The bloodied bodies of two policemen and a security officer were found in Utikini, near the Grasberg mine in Papua, on Thursday night.
Second Brig. Riyan Hariansah and Second Brig. Adpriadi, both aged 22, and 33-year-old security guard Suko Miartono were found dead shortly after carrying out a patrol in Utikini, Tembagapura, about 9 p.m. local time.
The three men suffered bullet and stab wounds, police said, and the area where they were found was littered with bullet casings.
Papua Police spokesman Sr. Comr. Patric Renwarin said the men were last seen heading to Utikini to conduct a patrol at 8:30 p.m. When the men failed to make contact with their command post, colleagues grew suspicious and launched a search operation.
A patrol team spotted the three men’s bodies from a bridge near Utikini about 9 p.m. and immediately took them to a hospital in Tembagapura.
Police found 13 bullet shells and four bullets at the scene.
Two men, who police described as being under the influence of alcohol, were arrested nearby, while another man fled.
