If from the start of the shootout, that means they died at the place, then? myself until 03.00 WIB already checked with friends in the field there were no bodies there, there were no crowds there, there were local officers who were at the estimated location at the East Karawang Toll Gate, in the middle of the night I checked , "explained Munarman.
