Suara.com – National Police Chief Gen. Listyo Sigit Prabowo appealed to the families of the victims of the Pertamina Plumpang Depot fire, Koja, North Jakarta, to come to the Kramat Jati Police Hospital to process the identification of the bodies.
“For people who have lost their families, we need the presence of biological families. Whether it’s brothers, siblings, younger siblings, or biological children, or even parents for DNA sampling,” said Lintyo when visiting the Kramat Jati Police Hospital, East Jakarta, Saturday (4/3/2023).
The identification of the bodies of the fire victims is currently still ongoing and requires accompanying data.
“While there are 12 more that are being examined using DNA and ontology checking methods, maybe colleagues can help because we need companion samples to be sure, the bodies that we have are the bodies in question,” said Listyo.

According to him, the presence of nuclear family members of the victims of the Plumpang Depo fire at the National Police Hospital will speed up the identification process.
“This will also of course help speed up the identification process because we really need a comparison, asking for help from colleagues and earlier at the command post we have conveyed it to help socialize it,” he said.
So, he added, the 12 bodies that have not been identified will continue to be investigated so that they can be the same as their families.
The National Police’s Disaster Victim and Identification (DVI) Team has succeeded in identifying two bodies of fire victims at the Pertamina Plumpang Depot based on fingerprints.
“Of the 6 fingerprints processed by the Inafis team and the DVI team at Bhayangkara Hospital, two were identified,” said Head of Public Relations Division of the National Police, Inspector General Dedi Prasetyo.
