JAVA - The finding of a number of bone fragments in the construction of an inpatient building for Pringsurat Public Health Center, Temanggung Regency, Central Java (Central Java), has shocked the puskesmas staff and local residents.

The project implementer for the construction of the Pringsurat Marino Health Center inpatient building said the bone fragments were found when making a hole for the chicken claw foundation on Saturday, July 16.

"The depth of the hole for the chicken claw foundation is two meters and 30 cm, but when workers drilled a hole at a depth of 1.5 meters, they found the bones," he said in Temanggung, Monday, July 18.

He conveyed that because his party was suspicious of the existence of the bones, the process of making the holes was stopped and then reported the findings to the Head of the Pringsurat Community Health Center, then the report was forwarded to the police.

"Last night at around 22.00 WIB, further research was carried out and today came from the Central Java Police team," he said, according to Antara.

Head of the Dokkes Division of the Central Java Police, Kombes Dr. Sumy Hastry, after investigating a number of the pieces of bone, said that he arrived at the location to examine the bones that were temporarily obtained, including the spine and long bones.

"Initially it was thought that human bones turned out to be after researching that there were pieces of bone of the same size, so it could not be human bones, because they exceed the number of human bones," he said.

Furthermore, it was also found that the shoulder blades turned out to be like two horns so they were not human bones.

"I believe animal bones, after the last found the shape of a head and it turned out to be a horse's head with its teeth. So we concluded this is an animal bone in the form of a horse. It is estimated that this horse has been dead for more than 30 years, because the bones are starting to become brittle," he said.

The Temanggung Police Chief, AKBP Agus Puryadi, said that because it was confirmed that this finding was in the form of horse bones, the evidence in the form of pieces of bone was returned to the project implementer.
