Drowned officer found

JAKARTA (JP): Suhana, alias Surono, who drowned on Sunday in Jakarta Bay, was found dead by a local fisherman yesterday on the Cilincing beach, North Jakarta.

A friend of the victim, Dai, confirmed the dead body was Suhana's.

Dai said yesterday that he, the victim and two other friends, Yatno and Warto, were fishing in a boat off the Cilincing beach on Sunday when Surono fell from the boat into the sea.

"We decided to stop fishing to tie the boat to wooden poles on the beach. Surono fell overboard but we were unable to help him as big waves swept him away before we could reach him," Dai said.

Surono, a resident of Jl. Pramuka, East Jakarta, is an employee of PT Kerta Gaya Perkasa. Dai said the victim had planned to get married to his girl friend in the next two months.(04)
