Jakarta, CNN Indonesia —
Director of the General Criminal Investigation of the West Nusa Tenggara Regional Police (NTB) Police Commissioner Hari Brata revealed that the Chief Police Brigadier MN shot his fellow police officer, Police Brigadier One HT, from close range.
“The positions are opposite, so the shooting range is very close, only 70 centimeters,” said Hari Brata in Mataram, Wednesday.
He explained that the shooting took place at the gate of the house where the victim lived, namely in the Griya Pesona Madani BTN area, East Lombok Regency.
“His position was when he (the victim) opened the gate, the weapon was then pointed at (the perpetrator). So at the gate (the shooting action), immediately, “he said.
When in action, MN uses an individual assault rifle of the SS-V2 Sabhara type. Day revealed that before shooting, the perpetrator had delivered a sentence containing a warning to the victim.
“At that time he (the perpetrator) only said, ‘I have often reminded you’, immediately (shooted the victim),” he said.
The police plan to hold a scene to reveal the complete chronology of the shooting case that occurred on Monday (25/10). Day ensures that the implementation of the scene will take into account the situation.
“There will be a reconstruction (scene) by investigators there (East Lombok Police), but the location is situational, because it is not possible to hold it at the TKP,” said Hari.
