Latest Developments In Searching For Eril, SAR Team Focuses On Marzili Area, But Troubled By Cloudy Water

JAKARTA - Various efforts are being made to find the whereabouts of Emmeril Kahn Mumtadz or Eril, the son of Ridwan Kamil who went missing in the Aare River, Bern, Switzerland. And this is the latest development of the search for Ridwan Kamil's son.

For initial information, Eril was reported missing in the Aare River, Bern City, Switzerland, on Thursday, May 26. The Indonesian Embassy in Switzerland received news of Eril's disappearance at 11.24 local time.

After that, a massive search was carried out by the SAR team involving elements of the Police, Maritime Police, and Firefighters as drone pilots. An intensive search effort has been going on for four days led by the Bern Maritime Police Chief.

Entering the fourth day, the search began in the morning at 09.00 local time.

The search in the morning session was carried out using the boat search method using binoculars to monitor the underwater situation. The search area has narrowed down to the most potential location in the Marzili region.

In the afternoon session, the focus of the search area was between the Schwellenmaetelli and Engehalde floodgates by boat. As of 7 p.m. local time, the search had not yielded the expected results.

According to the Maritime Police, the search process is still hampered by the level of turbidity of the water which comes from snowmelt particles. The search will resume in the next few hours Indonesian time.

The Governor of West Java, Ridwan Kamil, directly monitored the search for his son in the Aare River, Bern, Switzerland.

This photo of Ridwan Kamil was shared by the Indonesian Embassy in Switzerland in Bern, last Sunday, May 29. There, Ridwan Kamil was seen watching the search process from the riverbank.

He was seen wearing a yellow jacket that covered his long-sleeved shirt. A hat and a blocky bag on his back accompany Kang Emil -- his nickname. Emil was also seen listening to information from the police.
