Jakarta – National Police spokesman Insp. Gen. Edward Aritonang said a group of officers from Papua Police were deployed to pursue actors behind the recent shooting of an officer there.

"We suspect the Free Papua Organization (OPM) may be responsible the killing. But we still have to wait to see whether this initial assumption is true," Edward said Tuesday.

Second Brig. Sachrul was shot to dead while escorting a gas truck in Mulia, the capital of Jaya Wijaya district, in Papua on Monday. According to witnesses, up to four people attacked Sachrul and then shot him dead.
