A policeman's body has been found at the bottom of a ravine near the Indonesian operations of US mining conglomerate Freeport, raising the death toll from a series of weekend ambushes in restive Papua province to three.

A 29-year-old Australian mining expert and a security guard were killed and seven others wounded in three weekend shootings within a two-mile radius near the Grasberg mining complex.

It was the worst violence in the militarised zone since two American schoolteachers and an Indonesian colleague were murdered in 2002.
