KENDARI: Two marines Second Sgt. Pungki and Chief Sgt. Joko
Susilo were found dead, in the Tiworo straits, Muna district,
Southeast Sulawesi on Saturday morning.

The two bodies were sent to Kendari, as reported by the chief
of security officer Second Lt. Buas Dibyo Purwanto.

He also said that the two officers were on a routine patrol,
using a motorboat.

The boat was navigated by Taslim, who survived the accident
and is a key witness.

Dibyo could not give details of the incident, but said when
both victims were in the Tiworo straits, they encountered the
boat Sinar Mutiara carrying illegal logs. It is presumed that the
boat collided with their motorboat.
