Dr. Eliza Princila Utami Pakaenoni, 27, was found dead by hanging following alleged intimidation by two members of the Timor Tenggara Utara (TTU) DPRD. According to family spokesperson Fabianus Banase, 23 witnesses reported that the two council members smelled of alcohol during the encounter at the RS Leona emergency room.
How did the incident at RS Leona begin?
The confrontation occurred when two TTU DPRD members, Norbertus Tubani and Therensius Lazakar, arrived at the RS Leona emergency room. The officials were reportedly there regarding the medical treatment of a child patient who had been bitten by a snake.
During the interaction with medical staff, witnesses claimed the two officials were intoxicated. Banase stated that when the members spoke with the doctor and other medical personnel, the smell of alcohol was noticeable from their mouths.
Why is the lack of CCTV a concern?
The family has expressed concern regarding the absence of CCTV cameras in the RS Leona Kefamenanu emergency room. Banase noted that this lack of video surveillance could make the process of providing legal proof more difficult if the case moves forward.
In addition to witness testimony, the family claims to have received photographic documentation of the incident. This documentation was reportedly sent to the family during the time the council members were allegedly shouting at the doctor.
What may happen next with the investigation?
The family is considering filing a criminal report against the two DPRD members. If they proceed, the 23 witnesses who reported the smell of alcohol are reportedly prepared to provide testimony to support the case.
