2002 Irian Jaya Murders: Who to Believe?

[quote=“Comrade Stalin”]And if they aren’t paid off (and well), KOPASSUS [i.e., Indonesian Special Forces] will simply murder a few of the Western employees like they did in Irian Jaya, in 2002.[/quote] (bracketed words mine)

Not trying to start anything; this has me genuinely puzzled, viz.:

Suspicion [i.e., of the Irian Jaya murders] quickly turned away from the separatists. . . . [T]he Australian government gave the United States a telephone intercept between Indonesian military commanders . . . which leaves no doubt of military involvement. . . . Indonesian police investigators also exonerated the rebels. . . .

However:

[A] joint U.S.-Indonesian investigation has led to the indictment of Indonesian citizen Anthonius Wamang in connection with the deadly attack in August 2002 on a group of American schoolteachers returning from a picnic near Tembagapura, located in the remote Papua Province of Indonesia. . . . As alleged in the indictment, the “Free Papua Movement,” also known as “OPM,” is an organization devoted to creating a Papuan state independent from the Republic of Indonesia. The “National Freedom Force,” also known as the “TPN,” is the military arm of the OPM. The indictment alleges that, at the time of the attack, Wamang was an operational commander in the OPM/TPN.

In version 1, suspicion turned away from the rebels to the military. In version 2, it turned right back to the rebels. Which version to believe?
