Asep disappeared in tsunami and a figure found in a psychiatric hospitalAccording to the Daily Compass and Tribune News on the 21st, Asep, a policeman who was working in Banda Aceh, Aceh, Sumatra, disappeared after a massive tsunami hit on December 26, 2004.
At that time, after the 9.1 earthquake on the seabed off Banda Aceh, a tsunami, reaching a height of 30 meters, struck 12 countries along the Indian Ocean as well as the western coast of Sumatra Island.
At that time, there was no early warning system, so it was helpless to tsunami damage.
More than 170,000 people died and disappeared in Aceh, Indonesia alone, and a total of 230,000 people died and disappeared, including 35,000 in Sri Lanka, 16,000 in India, and 8,200 in Thailand.
After the tsunami, Asep disappeared, and his family even held a funeral when he did not return.
Indonesian police missing in tsunami found in mental hospital after 17 yearsHowever, in 2009, five years after the tsunami, the village chief of Pajar village in Jaya County, Aceh, took pity on the insane young man and took him to a mental hospital in Banda Aceh.
In the hospital, a young man who could not even remember his name was given the name’Zainal Avidin’.
Residents of Pajar village recalled, “From one day a young man with long hair and an incomplete spirit was seen in the village. He never bothered people, something was confused and there seemed to be trauma.”
He added, “I wasn’t sure about my appearance, but from my posture and behavior, I felt like I was a soldier or a police officer.”
On December 26, 2004, the scene where the super-large’Indian Ocean Tsunami’ swept awayThe psychiatric hospital contacted him if he could keep Zainal and return it to the village of Pajar this month.
The village headman asked the police to find his family, and the police went to the mental hospital to see Jainal’s face and posted it on social media on the 17th of this month, saying, “I recovered ASEP with the protection of God.”
Zainal, who had no memory, posed and hummed as the police sang the Brimob song. When I saw the police who came, I called him “senior.”
Joseph’s brothers and sisters come to the mental hospital to perform genetic tests and wait for the results, but Zainal believes that he is already.
The brothers are thrilled, saying, “Asheb has a spot on her right ear and a scar on her forehead. The scar was caused when she fell in the bathroom when she was young.”
The local police also said, “Through family checks, it was found that more than 80% of the physical characteristics were the same,” he said.
Unfortunately, however, the person in question is staring at the people who have come back because their memories have not come back.
