An Indonesian nun has died in a fire that badly damaged a convent on the predominantly Catholic island of Flores.
Sister Maria Zakaria Tukinem, 53, of the Franciscan Missionaries of Mary (FMM) was found dead in her room following the March 4 fire that ripped through a building at the Bethlehem Convent in Totomala, a village in Nagekeo district.
Sister Hildegardis Dadi said three nuns, including herself, were at the convent when the fire broke out at around 2am.
"I was sleeping in a room next to the kitchen, which is in a separate building from where Sister Maria was," she said.
