PATROL REPORT
At 15.45 hours, 6 April 2011 a
Timorese male went to the Comoro police station in Dili (capital city of
Timor-Leste) and reported that his 20-year-old son Paolo had been missing since
the previous night. He stated that his son Paolo and their neighbor's daughter
Mira had left their respective houses at 19.00 hours to go to a Thai restaurant near Cristore on 5
April. At 21.50 hours the neighbor's daughter Mira returned home, but his son
did not, and he was worried. The father
checked with Mira, who informed him that at 20.30 hours, they went to have
dinner. About ten minutes after arriving at the Thai restaurant, his son left a
place with some young people.
At 08.45 hours the next morning, the
father went to the restaurant and asked the owner whether anyone had seen his
son. The owner informed him that one of his waitresses had seen his son, the
previous evening, quarreling with some males outside the Thai restaurant. The
group of males had then forced the son into a white microbus, which sped off in
the direction of the hospital. The waitress described four of the males as all
being about 20 years old; one individual had long black hair and another one
had a ring in his left ear. She also stated that the driver of the microbus did
not get out of the vehicle so she can’t describe him.
The father gave the police a picture
of his son and requested help to find him. The police made a report and advised
the father that they would investigate the incident.
FOLLOW-UP REPORT # 1
On 7 April, UN Police along with
Police National of Timor Leste (PNTL) conducted the primary investigation
regarding the incident. A check was made at the local hospital, which proved
negative. At the restaurant the police interviewed the owner and a number of
waitresses who were working at the time of the incident. Police obtained
information that the suspects were all local Timorese and that one of the
waitresses had remembered the registration number of the microbus as TL0321. A
police patrol located the said vehicle parked on the Airport Road 20km from
Dili Police Station, at Grid reference 015-156. The police seized the vehicle’s
registration book, which displayed the name and address of the vehicle’s owner.
Enquiries are continuing.

FOLLOW-UP REPORT # 3
On 10 April during interrogation
Officer Simon Matonga asked the victim whether he knew the accused person and
the others who kidnapped him. Paolo
stated that he knew four of them, including Gomez, but not the one who had
assaulted him. Paolo added that he remembered the name of that suspect, because
the microbus owner called him Martino.
It was Gomez who told Martino to push the victim into the microbus. Paolo
also provided the names and address of three people who were involved in the
abduction. He did not know the address of the suspect, Martino. Later that day
the investigating officer collected Martino’s address from Gomez.
