A
landslide in Zanamba village, Intan Jaya regency, Papua, buried four residents alive on Tuesday.
The four victims were salt farmers, who at the time of the incident were resting in their honay (circular hut). They have been identified as Botak Lawiya, 19; Amutawa Lawiya, 25; Laris Lawiya, 18; and Tembi Kogoya, 19.
The incident occurred on Tuesday, but the remoteness of the area and a lack of means of communication made it impossible to report to the Papua Police headquarters until Thursday.
