T
he South Jakarta Police said it had investigated seven witnesses in the case of a recent accident at the construction site of Pasar Rumput low-cost apartment (Rusunawa) building in South Jakarta, killing a middle-aged woman.
Tarminah, 54, was killed on Sunday morning at around 9:25 a.m. as she was struck in the head by an iron bar that fell from the unfinished apartment building.
South Jakarta Police spokesperson Comr. Purwanta said on Friday that the seven witnesses comprised construction workers and individuals who happened to be at the accident site on Sunday morning.
The witnesses will continued to be questioned before the police move on to a further case screening process.
The project was carried out by state-owned construction firm PT Waskita Karya.
The incident added to the long list of construction accidents at the sites of state-owned company projects, including at the Becakayu toll road construction site on Feb. 20 and at the Jakarta-Cikarang railway project site on Feb. 4.
The government is set to reshuffle the company's board of directors during a shareholders meeting on April 6, following the series of accidents. (vny)
