A search and rescue team dispatched to locate a Merpati Nusantara Airlines MA60 aircraft that crashed in Kaimana, West Papua, two days ago is yet to find the bodies of pilot Purwadi Wahyu and copilot Paul Avnat.
“We have not found three victims, including the pilot and copilot,” Kaimana airport head Gagarin Moniaga said on Monday.
A China-made MA60 airplane flying from Sorong to Kaimana, West Papua, with 27 people on board crashed on Saturday. All on board are thought to have been killed in the accident.
