Jakarta (ANTARA News) - Police are still processing the cases of five Papuans charged with attacking the legitimate government at the 3rd Papua People`s Congress on October 19, 2011.

"Their cases ares now still being processed," the head of the National Police`s public relations division, Inspector General Saud Usman Nasution, said here on Monday.

He said the police had made three files on their cases and one of them dealt with sharp weapon possession.

"The first suspect is Sortorus Yagosembut who violated Article 106 of the Criminal Code and his dossier has been sent to the Jayapura High Court," he said.

The four other suspects, namely Dominikus Serabut as congress chief executive, Iyus Boboy as organizing committee chief, Agus Makbrowen Sananai as organizing committee member and Edison Fladius Waromi as congress participant meanwhile were charged with violating articles 106 and 110 of the Criminal Code, he said.

"Gatwenda who was caught carrying a sharp weapon meanwhile has been charged with violating Article 2 of Emergency Law Number 12 of 1951," Saud said.

Regarding the finding of three bodies at around 9.30am local time on October 20, 2011 at the location of the congress he said it was a separate case and now being handled by the Papua Regional Police Command.

The three bodies belonged to Daniel Kadepa, Maksayo and Yacob Saman Sabra. Daniel`s body had a sharp weapon and Maksayo`s body a gunshot wound. No autopsy was made on Yacob`s body because it had been buried immediately so the police were unable to determine what had caused his death, Saud said.

"They were believed to have died at 4am or 5am. This is a separate case and our team is still chasing the perpetrators," he said.(*)
