Police say diplomat Zetro Leonardo Purba was shot three times as he bicycled home to his apartment in Lima, Peru.

The Peruvian government has offered its condolences for the “assassination” of an Indonesian diplomat in its capital, Lima, calling the situation “lamentable” and a “heinous act”.

On Tuesday, the country’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement expressing its “deepest condolences and deepest condemnation” for the killing of Zetro Leonardo Purba, 40, a member of Indonesia’s diplomatic corps.

Surveillance footage released by Peruvian police shows Purba bicycling home to his apartment on Monday night, when an unknown assailant, wearing a helmet, approaches him near the building’s entrance and shoots him twice.

After Purba fell from his bike, the gunman shot him a third time before fleeing on a motorcycle driven by a suspected accomplice.
