JAKARTA The process of revealing the identity of the human skull found in the waterway of Jalan Radin Inten II, Duren Sawit, East Jakarta, on Monday, October 23, is still running. The Police Hospital admitted that it was difficult to reveal the identity.

"So don't take this easy, it's difficult. There is no information from the family that is missing because the identification requires comparative data from his family," said Head of the Kramat Jati Police Hospital (RS) Brigadier General Pol Hariyanto, Monday, November 6. According to him, his party cannot carry out an examination if no one reports about the skull. "If the missing person doesn't report here (Police Hospital), we can't check who it is. That's the picture like that either," he said.

Currently, his party is still waiting for information from families who feel they have lost their family members. It is estimated that the human skull is 44-65 years old. The discovery of the skull and human bones occurred when officers from the East Jakarta Water Resources (SDA) Sub-dept. cleaned a 50 centimeter deep ditch from Kalimalang to the East Flood Canal (KBT) on Monday, October 23. Officers found a black shirt containing a skull and human bone.
