Security officer hit by train

JAKARTA (JP): A security guard was crushed to death by an
express train, plying the Jakarta-Bandung route yesterday.

The victim, identified as Tubagus Benny Umar Atmakusumah, 42,
was a resident of Paseban Timur, Central Jakarta.

He was crushed near Jl. Cipinang Raya in East Jakarta, right
in front of Cipinang Prison, Chief Sgt. T. Manalu of the
Jatinegara military district said.

"A witness told me that the victim was crossing the railway
without being aware of the coming train, even though people had
warned him," he said.

He said the victim's body was torn to pieces. "I saw his
uniform wrapped around his leg but couldn't recognize his face,"
he said.

His body was rushed to Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital for
an autopsy after servicemen from the nearby office came and
collected the body. (04)
