Brittle, handle with care

JAKARTA (JP): The bodies of two workers were sent home to
Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara, from Malaysia in a large package
labeled "Brittle handle with care" Sunday, a press report said
yesterday.

The hair raising anonymous airmail package was received at
12.30 a.m. Sunday by Inaq Agus in Gunungsari subdistrict, who
recognized one of the corpses as her son, Agus Saini, 20.

The package was conveyed to her house by a man who introduced
himself as Dahri, one of the deceased's fellow workers from
Central Lombok, who claimed he did not know the contents of
package nor the sender but had been anonymously paid in Malaysia
for the delivery.

The other body has yet to be formally identified. Both corpses
had blood stains on their bodies and bruises on the heads. They
were in a coffin wrapped in cardboard.

"We were surprised by the arrival of the huge package in a
Kijang van in the middle of the night," the tearful Inaq told
Antara.

She said she and her husband had had no idea what was in the
package until it was opened.

Her daughter said she had heard her brother was involved in an
accident in Malaysia on Nov. 9 but nothing had been reported to
the police. (pan)
