The military in Papua has denied that an officer stabbed a civilian, leading to his death, on board a passenger ship heading from Nabire to Manokwari on Sunday. The dead man’s mother, however, claims the officer stabbed him during an argument, causing him to fall overboard. Spokesman Lt. Col. Ali Hamdan Bogra on Monday said that investigations into Chief Sgt. Hans Aru were under way in connection with the suspicious death of Derek Adii, a civilian who was traveling on the ship, Labobar. Derek’s corpse was found floating near the Sambusa seaport in Nabire. http://www.thejakartaglobe.com/home/military-denies-officer-killed-papuan-passenger/441586
