JAYAPURA, Indonesia—Indonesian security forces on Saturday recovered the bodies of four construction workers who were killed in a separatist attack in the restive Province of West Papua, police said.
The four men were killed late Thursday when gunmen stormed a government road construction project in remote Meyarga village in Bintuni Bay district, said West Papua Police spokesperson Adam Erwindi.
Five other workers fled to a nearby military post, including one who was injured in the attack, while three others hid in the jungle. The only female worker managed to escape and remains missing, Erwindi said.
He said that the bodies had been guarded by the gunmen until security forces found them on Saturday. Two of the remains were charred near two heavy equipment and three trucks that were set on fire by the attackers, and the two others had gunshot and stab wounds, Erwindi said….
