He escaped from prison in 2016 and immediately joined the TPNPB again. He was rearrested in 2018. Prosecutors sought a death sentence for him in 2019, over his past crimes and for killing an Indonesian soldier in 2018, but he was again sentenced to life imprisonment. In both his arrests and trials, criminal procedural law was violated. He was transferred to detention facilities outside West Papua in 2018 and is spending time in prison in Makassar.
