Guests poisoned at wedding party

BOGOR (JP): At least one wedding guest died and 100 others are
being treated for food poisoning, allegedly caused by dishes
served at a Sunday wedding reception in Udik village, Ciampea
district.

While most of the 100 victims are being treated at health
clinics here, some are having medical treatment at home.

Meanwhile, the body of the dead victim, identified as Pai, 45,
a resident of Cisadane village, was taken away by the Bogor
Police and transferred to Bogor's Indonesian Red Cross Hospital
for a postmortem examination.

According to Bogor Police detective chief Santun Marpaung, the
first victim fell ill at the party. The party was hosted by
Juned, whose daughter Eva Yunita was marrying Aman Nuryaman.

"The first person to fall ill complained of a stomachache. No
one, not even the guests, suspected it to be anything more than
that," he said.

"The wedding lasted for one day and one night," Santun said.

In the coming days, more and more of the wedding guests
started to complain of various ailments, from continuous
vomiting, severe dehydration, stomachache to diarrhea.

"Doctors still have not confirmed the matter. The case is
being studied," Santun said. (24/ylt)
