A MOUND of earth is surrounded by cassava trees and bushes. It is strewn with withering petals. Four wooden rods stand erect on all corners, supporting a palm-leaf roof that shelters the heap. There is no gravestone on it. There is only a stack of corals to identify it as a burial place.

There rest the remains of Chief Editor of Mingguan Pelangi Maluku (biweekly, literally Maluku Rainbow) Alfrets Mirulewan, 28. The grave is only around 50 meters
