On this occasion, he explained that the fact-finding team was formed by the Indonesian National Police Headquarters, and was one of the recommendations from Commission III of the Indonesian House of Representatives at a hearing some time ago.

The West Papua Regional Police will later present the entire chronology related to the disappearance of Tomi Samuel Marbun.
