Construction worker plunges to death

JAKARTA (JP): A laborer at an apartment building still under
construction fell to his death yesterday while installing outdoor
wall panels on the 12th floor.

Maryono, a 24-year-old resident of Serang, West Java, fell to
his death at around 10:00 a.m. at the 26-story Pavilion Park
Apartment location on Jl. K. H. Mas Mansyur, Central Jakarta.

According to his supervisor he was dead before he was taken to
the Mintohardjo Navy Hospital. His dead body was later delivered
to the Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital.

An eyewitness said the victim was not wearing a safety belt
while working. The witness said the hook hoisting him up to the
12th floor broke, causing him to fall to his death.

Tanah Abang Police Chief Capt. Martanto said his office is
still investigating the case and could not give further
information.

The wall was being installed by a sub-contractor, PT.
Griyaton, which is under contract with state-owned PT. Waskita
Karya. (05)
