POLICE CONFIRM DUTCH NATIONAL AMONG DEAD VICTIMS
Jakarta, July 22 (ANTARA) - A Dutch national was confirmed to be among the dead victims in Friday's bombings of the JW Marriott and Ritz Carlton hotels.
National Police (Polri) Dental Health Center chief n Brig Gen Eddy Suparwoto said here on Wednesday the Dutch victim was identified as EJC Keaning, a 50-year-old woman from the Netherlands.
Suparwoto made the confirmation in a press conference at the Jakarta Media Center in Mega Kuningan on Wednesday.
He said of the bodies of nine dead victims , six had been identified while three others were still under identification process.
The Dutch Embassy in Jakarta reported earlier that it had lost contact with two Dutch citizens in Jakarta after the two bomb explosions in the Mega Kuningan area on Friday.
Suparwoto said one of the three bodies which had yet to be identified could be that of EJC Keaning's husband and the two others might those of the suicide bombers.
However, he added that medically the police had yet to confirm that one of the three bodies was Keaning's husband.
"We still need additional data from the family to identify the body which is suspected to be that of a Dutchman," Suparwoto said, adding that the five bodies which had already been identified were Evert Mokodompit of Indonesia, Timothy D Mackay of New Zealand, Senger Craig Andrew of Australia, Mcevoy Garth Rupert John of Australia, and Verity Nathan John of Australia.
Last Friday's bombing of the JW Marriott and Ritz Carlton hotels in the Mega Kuningan area in South Jakarta killed nine people and injured more than 50 others.
Chief of the Jakarta Police's public relations unit, Senior Commissioner Chyshnanda Dwi Laksono, said on Tuesday that the
Police investigation team had yet to confirm the suspects in the bombings, including the possible involvement of fugitive Malaysian-born extremist Nurdin M Top.
He said the police investigation team was still collecting a number of data or evidence related to the bomb attacks on the two hotels in Jakarta.
According to Laksono, further evidence was still needed by the police to support their investigation into the bombings that had claimed nine lives and wounded more than 50 people.***
