Lovers killed by passing train

JAKARTA: Two lovers Sulistiono, 20, and Tati, also 20, were
killed by a train on Jl. Percetakan Negara I, Johar Baru
subdistrict, Central Jakarta on Sunday evening.

Hambali AS, a security guard who witnessed the incident, said
that both lovers were sitting on the railway line at around 8:30
p.m. when a passing train hit them.

Sulistiono, a resident of Jl. Kawi-kawi Bawah in the
subdistrict, suffered severe injuries to the head and chest while
Tati, a resident of Kramat Jati subdistrict, East Jakarta,
experienced worse injuries.

Ahmad Sutrisno, a friend of Sulistiono, said he witnessed the
lovers sitting on the railway line but never expected that they
would suffer such a tragic end.

"So far, residents in the area have never experienced such an
accident. We know the train schedule. When the train is about to
pass, people always move away from the tracks before gathering
again after the train passes," he said.

The bodies of the deceased were taken to Cipto Mangunkusumo
General Hospital morgue. -- Antara
