Woman killed by train

JAKARTA (JP): A 30-year-old housewife was killed yesterday in
East Jakarta when she was hit by a train plying the Jatinegara-
Bekasi route, her husband said.

Endang Abidin said that his wife, Esih, had not apparently
noticed the oncoming train as she climbed through a broken fence
and crossed the railway tracks on Jl. Kayu Manis I at 9 a.m.

He said nobody heard her cry out or scream, but they found her
mutilated body after the train had passed.

"The witnesses saw her walking toward the tracks, but they
thought that she had waited until the train had passed," he said.

Endang, a private company employee residing on Jl. Pembina I,
Matraman in East Jakarta, said Esih had been going to have a
medical check-up at Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital because
she was suffering from stomach pains.

"But she changed her mind and went to the nearby clinic
instead," he said. (04)
