At least 13 people died after a passenger boat capsized off the Indonesian island of Sumatra, two days after another ferry accident in the archipelago killed at least nine, the police said yesterday. The boat was carrying 55 people along the Musi river when it hit a large wave and sank amid bad weather on Wednesday, South Sumatra water police chief Robinson Siregar said.
