The National Police Will Verify All Sriwijaya Air SJ-182 Passenger Antemortem Data

JAKARTA - Despite opening two Antemortem posts, the National Police confirmed that there was no duplicate data on the passengers of the Sriwijaya SJ-182 aircraft that crashed in the waters of the Thousand Islands. This certainty arose because the police said they would verify all incoming data.

"All existing data will be verified. So hopefully there will be no duplicate data," said Police Public Relations Division Karopenmas Brigadier General Rusdi Hartono at a press conference at the Kramat Jati Police Hospital, Monday, January 11.

"Once again, the incoming data will be verified so that it is certain that there is no duplicate data," he added.

He then explained that the antemortem data for the passengers of the unlucky plane could be obtained from a number of things such as general data, namely age, weight, height, skin color, to the medical records of passengers before they were declared missing.

"If there are fingerprints from existing documents, diplomas and others. There must be fingerprints of the victim," he explained.

This data, including fingerprints, will then be used by the Police DVI Team, which will identify them during the postmortem process.

"So it will be very helpful. Any document that can explain the victim before death is very useful for the DVI Team," he said.

It is known that currently the National Police has opened antiemortem posts in two different places, namely in Pontianak and at the Kramat Jati Police Hospital.

The post at the Police Hospital operates 24 hours. So, the families of passengers who want to provide specific data or information related to the passengers of the unlucky plane can come to the post.
