JAKARTA - Police are still investigating the case of the collapse of the wall of Pertamina Public Fuel Filling Station (SPBU) on Jalan Soepomo, Tebet, South Jakarta which resulted in 3 deaths and 1 child injured.

Head of Criminal Investigation Unit of the South Jakarta Metro Police, AKBP Bintoro, said that his party would involve forensic and construction experts in investigating the case to find out whether there was any suspicion of negligence in the incident.

"We can't guess. We work based on legal facts. Meanwhile, we fly out the examination of construction and forensic experts," Bintoro said in a short message, Tuesday, January 23.

Meanwhile, Deputy Head of Criminal Investigation at the South Jakarta Metro Police, Kompol Henrikus Yossi, said that for now his party had examined 5 witnesses. Three of them are Pertamina gas station officers.

"3 from the gas station, 2 from the residents," he said.

Three people in one family died as a result of being hit by the Pertamina gas station wall on Jalan Soepomo, Tebet, South Jakarta, Sunday, January 21 at 11.50 WIB.

This incident took 3 members of Amri's family. Ami Kusuma Dewi (35) Amri's sister, Mrs. Thio (74) Amri's biological mother, and Mr. Sumedi Riyanto (80) is Amri's father. One survivor is an 8-year-old boy, the son of Ami Kusuma, Amri's nephew.

According to Amri, his parents already knew that Pertamina's gas station wall was fragile. However, Amri could not do much to prevent her parents from trading beside the wall.

Moreover, Amri's parents have been trading at the location for a long time, since he was a child. That's why they don't want the location of the source of their livelihood to be released, even though in the end it ends in disaster.

"Yes, I already know it's fragile, but still trading," he said.
