SEMARANG - The family of Novita Kurnia Putri, an Indonesian citizen (WNI) who was the victim of a wrong shootout in San Antonio, Texas, United States, hopes that the body of the deceased can be returned to be buried in Semarang City, Central Java. The relative of Novita Kurnia Putri, Rifai Idris, said that the family had not received any news about the certainty of the repatriation of the deceased's body. "There is no certainty, he said it is still a process," said the late Novita uncle in Semarang, Antara, Tuesday, October 11. The family, he said, did not know for certain the cause of the length of the recovery process for Novita's body. The family hopes that Novita's body can be brought home to be buried in his homeland in Semarang City. Novita's husband, Robert Brazil Jr, has contacted the family who lives in Pudakpayung, Semarang City. Novita has been living in the United States for about 1.5 years to follow her husband who works as Air Force. Previously, the Government through the Indonesian Consulate General in Houston would facilitate the repatriation of the body of Novita Kurnia Putri, an Indonesian citizen who was the victim of the wrong shooting in San Antonio, Texas, United States. Novita reportedly died instantly on Tuesday, after her home was shot by hundreds of bullets by two teenagers, each aged 14 and 15 years. The Indonesian Consulate General in Houston also continues to coordinate with the Indonesian Ministry of Foreign Affairs to facilitate the wishes of the deceased's family. The repatriation of Novita's body from the US to Indonesia took a long time, especially the issuance of death documents by the local health department.
