Jakarta:A Skytruck airplane belonging to the Indonesian Police headquarters, yesterday crashed on Wami in Nabire, Papua, at 16:30 PM local time. The plane plummeted after it had delivered logistic aid for the flood victims in Wasior, Papua.
According to Insp. Gen. Iskandar Hasan, the Police’s Public Relations chief, the airplane was carrying five police officers; the pilot, Comm. Irwan, co-pilot, Insp. Bayu, and crew members Insp. Mohamad Amri, Brig. Hadirianto and Brig. Aipul Bahri. Three bodies have been found, while the others are still missing and being sought. “The bodies were found in an unrecognizable condition,” Iskandar said via a cellular message today.
The Skytruck plane previously landed at Nabire Airport for a fuel refill. The plane was heading for Jakarta with stopovers in Ambon and Makassar. The plane crashed on the way to Ambon. According to Iskandar, the plane lost contact at about 16.30 PM. “The plane may have crashed due to bad weather,” he said.
Around 23.30 last night, the local people reported an airplane crash around Wami. With the local police, they went to the scene and found the airplane and three bodies.
At present, transporting the three unidentified bodies to the nearest hospital has been problematic impeded because they have to cross the sea. Police officers have been deployed to search the other two bodies.
