Train kills couple<\/p>\n
JAKARTA (JP): A man and a woman were killed by a speeding
\ntrain at a train crossing in Rawa Buaya, West Jakarta, Saturday
\nnight.<\/p>\n
The victims were identified as Edy Purnomo, 23, and Mariyani,
\n17. Both were Rawa Buaya residents.<\/p>\n
Witnesses said the two were seen walking along the railway
\ntracks holding hands when the train was coming. People near them
\nshouted warnings but the couple apparently did not hear them.<\/p>\n
The train, plying the Tangerang-Tanah Abang route, reportedly
\nblew its whistle to notify them as well, a police officer said.<\/p>\n
\"People said that it was their fate since it seemed that they
\ndidn't care about the warnings and kept walking until the train
\nhit them,\" First Sgt. Aristyono of the local subprecinct said.<\/p>\n
Both died instantly at the scene.<\/p>\n
Their bodies were sent to the Cipto Mangunkusumo General
\nHospital in Central Jakarta for a post mortem examination.<\/p>\n
Mariyani's sister Tugirah, 32, said she was told about the
\nincident by officers of the Cengkareng Police Subprecinct.<\/p>\n
Mariyani was an administrative assistant at PT Indomesin on
\nJl. Daan Mogot. Edy worked on temporary jobs.<\/p>\n
Tugirah said Mariyani had migrated from Lampung a year ago,
\nsoon after she graduated from junior high school.<\/p>\n
\"We never knew that she had a boyfriend here. She never told
\nus before,\" Tugirah said.<\/p>\n
Mariyani left her boarding house at about 6 p.m. and told her
\nfriends that she would buy food to break her fast.<\/p>\n
\"But she never came back again,\" Tugirah said, adding that her
\nrelatives in Jakarta would find it difficult to tell their
\nparents about Mariyani's death.<\/p>\n
Tugirah planned to send her sister's body to Lampung to be
\nburied. (04)<\/p>",
