Riau Islands Police have reported a jail break by 12 detainees on Wednesday morning. *The detainees gained access to the gate after they assaulted prison guards identified as Andi, otherwise known as Jimson, and Bachtiar and broke through windows and doors.
“Andi was attacked when he was about to lock the door with Bachtiar,” Riau Islands Police chief Brig. Gen. Endjang Sudrajat said.
He said the police had distributed photographs of the fugitives to all possible exit points in Batam.Teams of field officers, he added, had already been deployed to recapture them.
He said the fugitives were police detainees, mostly drugs suspects, who were awaiting trial while in Batam prison.
The police are continuing to hunt the escapees, examining potential hiding places and also investigating whether they had some inside help in their escape. The escapees have been identified as Heryawan, Edi Priyanto, Ismail Pilliang, Riki Hidayat, M Darman, Yusnardi, Indra Kumar, Sufyan, Hendro Gunawan,
Achyar, Aguan and Mulyadi Bin Saparudin.
Earlier this week, a deadly riot took place at Tanjung Gusta Penitentiary in Medan; resulting in more than 200 prisoners fleeing from the prison. The inmates set fire to the prison and five people, two prison guards and three inmates, died after being trapped in room in the blaze.(hrl/dic)
