Jayapura, Jubi - A Catholic church reporter, Monday (26/10/2020) was shot dead by Indonesian security forces on duty at Intan Jaya. Apart from the church preacher named Rafinus Tigau, a child named Megianus Kobagau was injured due to a recoset of bullets fired by security forces.

Pastor Marten Kuayo, Diocesan Administrator for Timika Diocese, confirmed the incident that killed Rafinus.

“That's right, I just got a report from the Jalae Parish Pastor that Rafinus died from being shot. He was accused of being a member of the West Papua National Liberation Army (TPNPB). That is not true. Rafinus has long been a preacher of the Catholic church in Jalae, "Father Marthen told Jubi, Monday (26/10/2020).

A Sugapa resident who was contacted by Jubi said Rafinus' body was found near his house and had been buried in a hole covered with banana leaves.

"The Indonesian National Police have been in Jalae since 5.00 am. They said they wanted to go after TPNPB. But TPNPB is far from the village. We'll hear gunfire. We don't know who can shoot. After there was no gunshot, then we checked out of the house. We just realized Rafinus wasn't there. So we looked for it, it turned out that he was buried in a hole covered in banana leaves, ”said this Sugapa resident.


 
Separately, the security forces conducting the sweeping in Jalae said that Rufinus was a member of the Armed Separatist Criminal Group (KKSB) as they are called the West Papua National Liberation Army (TPNPB).

"This is the result of the development after the TGPF interception by KKSB last October 9th. From the results of the development and collection of information from the community, accurate information was obtained that one of the KKSB groups was headquartered in Jalae Village, Sugapa District, "said the Head of Information for Kogabwilhan III, Col. Czi IGN Suriastawa.


The operation, according to Suriastawa, began at 05.30 WIT by the Joint TNI-Polri Team. Apart from shooting Rapinus, this operation secured two other people, one of whom claimed to be Rafinus Tigau's younger brother.

Suriastawa also said that at the request of the family, the victim was buried on the spot. The Joint TNI Polri Team helped dig the grave and during the funeral, the family admitted that the victim had been active in the KKSB action.

However, Sugapa residents who were contacted by Jubi said that none of the residents knew about Rafinus' shooting until his body was found in a hole covered in banana leaves.

Suriastawa admitted that in this operation a child named Megianus (6 years) suffered a wound on the left side of the waist due to recoset. Megianus was then evacuated to Bilogai Airport, Intan Jaya to be taken to Timika for further medical treatment.

"He was accompanied by two of his families," said Suriastawa.

Sebby Sambom, Spokesperson for the TPNPB said Suriastawa's statement was a lie built to cover the public's spotlight. Sebby said that when Pastor Zanambani was shot, Suriastawa also accused Pastor Zanambani of being a member of the TPNPB.

“In fact, it is clear that what they shot was a religious figure, a priest. Likewise, the shooting they carried out on a catechist after the shooting of Pastor Zanambani, "said Sebby.

Sebby emphasized that he had checked with Intan Jaya and there was no TPNPB member in Intan Jaya named Rafinus Tigau. (*)
