Morgue makes way for 5 more corpses

JAKARTA (JP): Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital in Central
Jakarta received five unidentified corpses between Wednesday
afternoon and early Thursday from police, a hospital official
said yesterday.

Ecip, who oversees the hospital's morgue, said police told him
the corpses were found in various parts of Greater Jakarta.

"Four were picked up in Bekasi and one in Tebet, South
Jakarta," he said as quoted by Antara.

One was believed to be a murder victim because stab wounds
were found on the body of the dead man, who was aged about 35,
Ecip said.

A total of 75 unclaimed corpses have been sent by police to
the hospital's morgue between March 1 and March 11, he said.
