Military police conclude Theys probe
JAYAPURA: The military police team tasked to investigate the
murder of Papuan leader Theys Hilo Eluay concluded their
investigation on Thursday, saying there was no further evidence
to probe.
Col. Sutarna, commander of the Military Police Command XVIII
Trikora, confirmed the stagnation of the investigation, and the
team returned to the capital.
"At the moment we're just waiting for new information. The
investigation could now be concluded as the excavation around the
Kopassus headquarters did not bring any result," Sutarna said
referring to the search for the Theys' missing driver, thought to
be a key witness, and last seen at the Kopassus headquarters.
The Military Police investigation team was formed by the
Indonesian Military (TNI) headquarters following reports that
members of the Army's Special Force (Kopassus) were involved in
the killing of Theys in November 2001.-- Antara
