JAKARTA - The Kramat Jati Police Hospital in East Jakarta is still identifying the bodies of victims of mutilation in Buaran Village, South Tambun, Bekasi Regency, West Java. The process of identifying the bodies of female victims of mutilation was carried out in the Forensic Installation Room using the Disaster Victim Identification (DVI) method. "We identify them, such as the DVI process. Check DNA, autonomous (tooth medical data examination), anthropometric and medical," said Head of the Kramat Jati Police Hospital (RS) Brigadier General Hariyanto in Jakarta, Antara, Wednesday, January 4. DVI is a method that is often used to identify victims of accidents, many natural disasters and the condition of the corpse is difficult to identify physically so that it is identified using medical data. Hariyanto said that DNA testing and dental medical data needed to be done because both of them had medical data that was able to show a person's identity scientifically so that the results were accurate. He explained that the identification process was carried out by comparing DNA samples from the victim's body which were matched with DNA samples from the victim's family members through a series of laboratory tests. "The investigators have pocketed the identity based on reports of missing people, but for scientific processing, a DNA examination will be carried out," said Hariyanto. Hariyanto said the process of matching DNA samples for identification was ongoing at the National Police's Forensic Laboratory Center (Puslabfor). He said the identification results would later be submitted to investigators who handled the case to assist in disclosing the legal process of the murder case accompanied by mutilation. "Still waiting for the DNA results for certainty. Just wait for the results," said Hariyanto. Previously, the Directorate of General Criminal Investigation of the Polda Metro Jaya investigated the case of the discovery of the body of a female victim of mutilation which was stored in a plastic container in a rented house in Tambun Selatan, Bekasi Regency, West Java. Director of General Criminal Investigation of Polda Metro Jaya Kombes Hengki Haryadi revealed that the discovery of the body of the victim of mutilation began with reports of missing persons at the Bantar Gebang Police. The person who was reported missing was a man with the initials MEL. Then the police received information that the person concerned was at the boarding house in Tambun, Bekasi. The police then went to the MEL boarding house on Thursday (29/12) at around 23.00 WIB and asked the boarding house owner to open the boarding house concerned. "When we searched the location, we took the boarding house owner inside, it turned out that we found it, it was very surprising for us that the investigative team was there, it turned out that there were bodies in two containers," said Hengki.
