STORYLINE:
Relatives of those killed in a powerful Indonesian earthquake sobbed and threw rose petals on graves on Wednesday and others began clearing rubble from their crumpled homes.
At least 52 people were killed and hundreds injured in the 6.3 magnitude quake that struck Sumatra island on Tuesday, the latest in a string of natural disasters to hit the nation.
More people were thought to have died but a government official lowered the death toll by nearly 20 to at least 52 dead, saying some of the victims had been counted twice.
The temblor was felt as far away as neighbouring Malaysia and Singapore, where some tall buildings were evacuated.
Two hours later, a 6.1 aftershock rattled the region.
In Solok, a bustling town close to the epicentre, three members of one family were burned alive when their collapsed home burst into flames, a police spokesman said .
Dozens of buildings were destroyed and hundreds others damaged in the quake, according to a local police chief.
Locals there could be seen salvaging what they could from their flattened homes and many were forced to camp out in open fields after they found their homes destroyed.
Military officials put up tents to house the homeless.
Patients poured into hospitals, many with broken bones and cuts, but most were treated outside because of fears more quakes would follow.
Officials said some 250 people were injured.
A five year-old girl was amongst those killed in Solok when the temblor struck.
Regia Putri ran out of her pre-school when the ground began shaking violently, cracking nearby roads and homes.
She made it to the playground, but was smashed beyond recognition when a slab of concrete rained down from the building next door.
Her father, Okiandri, mourned her death on Wednesday sprinkling the ground with rose petals, as relatives of others killed in the powerful Indonesian earthquake on Tuesday also buried their dead.
Tuesday's earthquake is the latest in a string of natural disasters to hit Indonesia.
Indonesia, which straddles one of the world's most seismically violent zones, was hardest hit by the 2004 Asian tsunami that killed 160-thousand people on Sumatra's northern tip.
