One killed in landslide

BENGKULU, Bengkulu: Bari, a resident in the Panorama subdistrict of Bengkulu, was buried alive in a landslide near a brick factory site, Antara reported.

The body of the 35-year-old man was found last week by two fellow factory workers when they came to the landslide site.

"We stumbled and saw fingers sticking out of the soil," said Amaluddin, one of the workers. "We cried out for help from the local people, but Bari was already dead."

Residents said the landslide was probably caused by the excavation activities being carried out for the brick factory. (rms)
