JAKARTA - The victims of a landslide in Darmawangi Village, Sukabumi Regency, West Java were finally found on Sunday (9/2) after being declared missing for more than two months by the joint SAR team.
"When it was found that the victim's condition on behalf of Ojang (53) had become a framework. The victims of the landslide disaster had been missing since December 4, 2024," said Head of the Emergency and Logistics Section of the Sukabumi Regency Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) Medi Abdul Hakim, quoted by ANTARA, Monday, February 10.
According to Medi, Ojang was a victim of a landslide while farming in the fields. At the time of the incident, the victim was suspected of being in shelter, because it rained heavily and suddenly a landslide occurred which immediately buried the victim's body.
The victim's body was searched by a joint SAR team from the West Java Police Mobile Brigade Unit, Basarnas, Raider Battalion, volunteers and the community.
However, until December 22, 2024, the victim has not been found and the search has been stopped according to the standard operating procedure (SAR SOP).
Meanwhile, Ojang's body was found by a ustadz named Rahman who was looking for firewood around the location where the missing victim was buried by a landslide. While looking for firewood, the witness saw that there was a human skeleton in the thigh and immediately informed the residents.
At that location, residents found other skeletons, so a search was carried out by digging. As a result, a human skeleton was found in complete condition and still wearing clothes.
When found, the condition of the skeleton was still wearing a short-sleeved shirt, trousers and a red plastic raincoat and a machete was found.
After the skeleton was shown to the victim's family and recognized the characteristics of the last clothes worn by Ojang before being buried by a landslide.
However, because he had let Ojang go and what happened to the victim was purely a disaster, the family refused to do an autopsy on the skeleton. Furthermore, the family made a letter against the autopsy and the framework was buried at TPU Darmawangi 2.
