The SAR team, assisted by the people of Romean Village, Fordata District, Tanimbar Islands Regency, Maluku, is still searching for Aipda Fransiskus Kelbulan, who had a sea accident around the Orafruan Strait (KKT). "There were five people in the speed boat, three of whom were members of the National Police who served at the Fordata Police when there was a sea accident due to high waves on Monday today at around 00:00 WIT," said Head of the Ambon Basarnas Search and Rescue Office, Maluku Mustari in Ambon, Antara, Monday, July 3. The speed boat belonging to a resident of Kelaan Village named Sostenes Lutlutur (51) with Andre Talutu (21) initially brought Aipda Fransiskus, Bripka Charles Lutlutur and Briptu Luki Kepilaa from Kelaan Village in North Tanimbar District to Romean Village. However, while in the Rafruan Strait between Kelaan and Romean Villages, the speed boat sank due to being hit by high waves and each passenger trying to save himself. At around 03.00 WIT, Sostenes and Andre Talutu managed to swim to Romean Village and reported the incident. So that several speed boads belonging to the people of Romean Village went to the sea to search and from the search results at around 04.00 WIT, two members of the Fordata Police on behalf of Bripka Charles Lutlutur and Brigadier Luky Kepilaan were found safe.
