QZ8501: Name tag found on a body wearing stewardess uniform

Among the seven bodies of AirAsia's flight QZ8501 retrieved so far, one was found with a name tag on her stewardess uniform.

The body with the tag ‘Khairunisa Haidar’ was also wearing a ring and an Alexandre Christie branded watch.

Meanwhile, AirAsia Indonesia chief executive Sunu Widyatmoko confirmed that of the seven bodies found, one is of a AirAsia stewardess.

The identity of name of the stewardess could however not be confirmed.

“It is true we had received the information that one of the bodies found is a crew member, a stewardess. On the identity, we are still waiting for identification from the authorities,” he told Kompas.com.

He said, as of now, the issue of compensation has yet to be discussed as AirAsia is currently focusing on the search and rescue mission.

Khairunisa Haidar Fauzi’s name is on the QZ8501 passenger manifest.
