Mysterious plastic bag
After Jokowi and JK visited the location of Kampung Melayu bombing, a number of residents who were at first banned to go near the point of bomb attack started to swarm in. They wanted to see the point which is behind a public toilet.
Meanwhile at the bus station, the workers of Transjakarta were busy cleaning broken glass caused by the explosion.
A white plastic bag caught the attention of residents who came to see the point. They felt curious and tried to find out what it is.
Their curiosity turned into horror and disgust after knowing the plastic bag contained burnt objects spreading stinking burning smell.
It smells like a carcass, I feel like throwing up, said a woman who tried to find out what it was inside the plastic bag.
Other residents started to think that there might be pieces of human body belonging to the bomber.
There were some burnt objects inside the bag which looked like a piece of a backpack and allegedly pieces of human body.
Security team who were around the explosion point had warned people not to touch whatever was inside the plastic bag.
