Jayapura, Indonesia, July 13 (ANTARA) - Brigadier I Marson, a Papua police officer, was found dead on Monday at mile 52 road connecting Timika and Tembagapura, Mimika District, Papua Province, after reportedly missing earlier.
The Papua police looked for Marson after he had been declared missing, and they found his weapon and his dead body later, a source said in Timika on Monday.

There was no information yet on when his body would be sent to his family in Jayapura, he said.
On Sunday (July 12), there were two armed attacks respectively at Mile 51 and Mile 2, which killed Markus Rante Allo, a security guard of PT Freeport.
Earlier, Drew Nicholas Grant, an Australian national who worked for PT Freeport, was shot dead by unknown people at Mile-53 on Saturday (July 11), when the ill-fated LWB vehicle, police license number 01-2587, driven by Jon Biggs was traveling to Timika from Tembagapura. In the shooting Drew Grant was shot in the chest and neck.
Meanwhile, a report from Australia said the Indonesian police had asked for the help of the Australian Federal Police (AFP) to investigate the shooting which had killed Drew Nicholas Grant (38).
The Indonesian police's request was mentioned by Australian Foreign Minister Stephen Smith in a statement to the press in Brisbane, Sunday, when commenting on the shooting.
