JAKARTA (JP): Two boys drowned in an eight-meter-deep muddy
\npond at Taman Ismail Marzuki (TIM) arts center in Central Jakarta
\non Thursday.<\/p>\n
Witnesses said Yakub Fimansyah and Asep, both 11, together
\nwith some of their year six primary school colleagues went for a
\nmidday swim in the pond, a hole at the former site of the Open
\nTheater, on their way home from school.<\/p>\n
A few minutes later the other boys panicked, hastily got out
\nof the pond and looked for help after failing to see their two
\nfriends on the surface.<\/p>\n
Their screams attracted nearby residents, who then rushed to
\nthe scene. Some of them jumped into the muddy water but failed to
\nfind the two bodies immediately.<\/p>\n
An hour later they found Yakub's body, covered in mud at the
\nbottom of the pond. Thirty minutes after that, the residents
\nfound Asep's body.<\/p>\n
Koko, one of the residents who took part in the rescue, was
\nquoted by Antara as saying that Yakub was still breathing when
\nhis body was brought up to the surface.<\/p>\n
The boy was believed to have died on the way to Cikini
\nhospital, which is about 300 meters away. (bsr)<\/p>",
