The late Gafur's sincere intention to seek sustenance in a foreign land bore bitter fruit for his family. The sad news of his death deeply shook the family.
He (the late Gafur) left behind a wife and 2 (two) beautiful daughters in his hometown in Suralaga, East Lombok Regency. It was unthinkable that the late Gafur would go this far, said his wife.
Miri Police are investigating the case of an Indonesian citizen who died from gunshot wounds all over his body. The reason is that when the shooting occurred there were no witnesses.
adbmi.org - The perpetrator of the murder of Gafur, an Indonesian Migrant Worker who was killed in a private palm oil plantation, in the Sepupok area, Batu Niah, Miri, Sarawak, Malaysia, on July 29, 2024, has not yet been identified. This is because the investigation is still hampered by terrain.
The Consulate General of the Republic of Indonesia Kuching Sarawak Malaysia issued a Press Release on the murder case of Gafur, a resident of Waringin Village, Suralaga District, East Lombok Regency, NTB dated August 5, 2024.
The points include the following:
An Indonesian man with the initials GF was found dead in a private oil palm plantation, in the Sepupok area, Batu Niah, Miri, Sarawak, Malaysia, on July 29, 2024. It is suspected that the man was a murder victim. Information about the death of the 40-year-old man from East Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara was obtained by the Indonesian Consulate General in Kuching from the Miri Regional Police (IPD) Headquarters, Sarawak, on July 31, 2024.
The forensic department of Miri Hospital conducted an autopsy on the victim who previously worked as an undocumented Indonesian Migrant Worker (PMI) on July 31, 2024, and it was discovered that the cause of death was a gunshot to the chest.
As an effort to follow up on information regarding the death of the Indonesian citizen in question, on August 5, 2024, the Indonesian Consulate General in Kuching held a meeting with the Head of the Miri Regional Police, ACP Alexson Naga Anak Chabu, at the Miri IPD office. In the meeting, it was discovered that the shooting incident occurred at around 8 am on July 29, 2024. There were no eyewitnesses who saw the shooting, but there were 4 witnesses who were Indonesian citizens who also worked in the field, who heard the sound of an explosion. When the witnesses looked for the source of the explosion, they saw the victim GF lying down with wounds all over her body, but still alive. The witnesses immediately took GF to the nearest hut where GF had said that a thief had entered her hut, before GF finally died.
The Miri IPD has taken testimony from the four people and is searching for the suspected shooter, but the wilderness around the location of the incident has hampered the search process for the suspect.
Miri police also added that the wounds all over the victim GF's body occurred because the perpetrator used a rifle with bullets which resulted in many wounds spread across the victim's body, with three penetrating wounds in the chest which were fatal.
Currently, the employer/owner of the field where the victim GF worked during his life is taking care of the process of sending the body to be buried in his hometown in East Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia.
The Indonesian Consulate General in Kuching will continue to coordinate with the local police regarding the investigation of this case and hopes that the suspect can be found to be tried and sentenced according to the laws in force in Malaysia.
