The joint SAR team managed to find the body of a tourist from Bandung on behalf of Radi Ramlan (18) who was carried by waves as far as 4 kilometers from the first location reported missing, Wednesday, April 18.

Kapolsek Cidaun AKP Munawir when contacted on Thursday, said that Radi's body was first seen by a fisherman, stranded on Ciwidig Beach, which is about 4 kilometers from the Cidamar Beach location where the victim was reported missing by the waves.

"The victim's body was found stranded on the beach on the back, the fisherman who found this immediately reported it to the officer, the team went straight to the location," he said.

The victim's body was taken to the local health center for a post-mortem before being brought by the family for burial in the Bandung area, while the search was stopped because the victim had been found.

He explained that currently the waves in the southern sea of Cianjur are not too high, but still dangerous for residents or tourists swimming too into the middle, so his party appealed not to swim on the beach without supervision.

"We, together with coastal tourism managers in southern Cianjur, always urge tourists who come, not to swim even though the waves are not high, because they are still dangerous, let alone swimming to the middle," he said.

As reported by BPBD Cianjur, the joint SAR team tried to find tourists from Bandung who were reported missing by the waves while swimming at Cemara Beach in Cidamar Village, Cidaun District, Wednesday, April 17, where one person managed to survive.

The Head of BPBD Cianjur, Asep Sukma Wijaya, said that his party received information from residents that two tourists were lost by the waves into the middle of the sea while swimming on behalf of Radi Ramlan (18) and Najwar (17), residents of Bandung Regency.

"The four of them traveled to the southern coast of Cianjur, two people were desperate to swim during high waves, so that they were carried by the waves into the middle of the sea, Najwar was found safe, while Radi was still being searched," he said.
