Wirawan said that according to his wife, Yosepha Hera Iswandari, Pollycarpus died after contracting the coronavirus.
Pollycarpus is an ex-convict in the case of the murder of prominent human rights defender Munir Said Thalib, who died of arsenic poisoning during a flight to the Netherlands in 2004.
