he Papua Police have arrested two more suspects for the murder of Chief Brig. Jefri Sesa in a police housing complex in Yapen, Papua, on April 27.
National Police spokesman Sr. Comr. Agus Rianto identified the suspects as TM, 31, and AS, 57.
'They will be charged with Article 340 of the Criminal Code with premeditated murder, Article 338 for taking the life of another and Article 170 on group assault with a maximum penalty of death sentence,' Agus said on Tuesday at the National Police headquarters in South Jakarta.

The men allegedly killed Jefri and injured two of his relatives at his residence in the Angkaisera police sub-station housing complex.
