Overview

Arief Budiman’s Missing scene from the mysterious shooter - draft #4 is premised on the Petrus killings that occurred in Indonesia in the mid-1980s, the term Petrus stemming from the Indonesian phrase, penembak misterius, or mysterious shooter. The murders were a series of executions that took place between 1982 and 1985, with hundreds or thousands of criminals - the exact death toll is disputed - shot by undercover death squads. Their bodies are left in public spaces as a warning to other criminal elements.
