Suara.com – The Disaster Victim Identification Team or DVI Polri has collected ten DNA samples from the families of the victims of the fire that occurred at the Pertamina Plumpang Depot, Koja, North Jakarta, on Friday night (3/3).
“The DNA sample will be examined carefully to match the bodies of the fire victims,” said Head of the Kramat Jati Police Hospital, Brigadier General Hariyanto at the Police Hospital, East Jakarta, Saturday (4/3/2023).
According to him, the identification process must be carried out correctly so that there are no mistakes in revealing the identity of the body.
“It’s a match, right? So if you haven’t found the matched one, it can’t be connected, we can’t release it yet. The principle is caution,” he said.
