The body identification process was carried out on January 19, 2025 via video call with the deceased's younger sibling who also worked as a PMI in Taiwan. In addition to confirming the identity of SW's body, the deceased's younger sibling also asked for assistance in repatriating the body to Indonesia. Furthermore, the Indonesian Consulate General in Istanbul established intensive communication with the deceased's husband.
At the request of the family, the Indonesian Consulate General in Istanbul continues to coordinate with various parties to ensure the repatriation of the body to Indonesia.
