Three brothers drown in Cilemer River

PANDEGLANG, West Java: Three teenage brothers from Saketi
village drowned in the six meter deep Cilemer River yesterday.

Antara quoted residents as saying that Asep Sopian bin Empu
Sanjaya, 12, Dodi Sohadi, 13, and Eep Supandi bin Ganda, 15, were
waiting for the breaking of the fast when they took a bath in the
river.

"None of them could swim, so Asep either got himself in
trouble in deep water or was swept away by the current. His
brothers tried to help but were swept along too," a resident was
quoted as saying. (aan)
