A suspected Indonesian policeman who disappeared at the time of the 2004’Indian Ocean Tsunami’ was discovered in a mental hospital after 17 years and is waiting for the results of a DNA test.
According to today (21st) Daily Compass and Tribune News, asp, a policeman who was working in Banda Aceh, Aceh, Sumatra, disappeared after a massive tsunami on December 26, 2004.
At that time, after the 9.1 earthquake off the seabed off Banda Aceh, a tsunami, reaching a height of 30 meters, struck 12 countries off the coast of 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 or disappeared in Aceh, Indonesia alone, and a total of 230,000 people died or 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.
But in 2009, five years after the tsunami, the village chief of the village of Pajar, Jaya County, Aceh, took pity on the insane young man and took him to the psychiatric 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 the village of Pajar recalled, “From one day a young man with long hair and an improper spirit was seen in the village.
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.”
The 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 psychiatric hospital to perform genetic tests and wait for the results.
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 are the same,” and said, “We are waiting for the results of checking the genes and fingerprints.”
Unfortunately, however, the person in question is staring at the people who have come back because their memories have not come back.
