JAKARTA - Member of the House of Representatives Commission III Dimyati Natakusumah admitted that he was not sure that there were only 3 suspects in the Tangerang prison fire case.

The police previously named 3 Tangerang prison officers as suspects in the tragedy that left dozens of people dead.

"If there are only three (suspects, ed) it is too small," said Dimyati at the DPR building, Tuesday, September 21.

According to the PKS politician, the fire was caused by negligence and failure of prison management. Therefore, he considered, there were more than 3 suspects in that case. "This is a problem from management, this is a performance problem," said Dimyati.

Previously reported, the police named 3 Tangerang Class I prison officers as suspects in the deadly fire case. The three were named as suspects because they were considered negligent in the fire incident which left 49 people dead.

"This is the result of a case conducted today by naming three suspects for Article 359 of the Criminal Code," said the Director of Crime and Crime of the Metro Jaya Police, Kombes Tubagus Ade Hidayat at the Metro Jaya Police Headquarters, Jakarta, Monday, September 20.

The three suspects were identified with the initials RU, S, and Y. All three were prison officers who were on duty when the deadly fire took place on Wednesday, September 8.

"In the meantime, there are three people, all of whom are officers from the prison. We will not specifically describe the form of negligence because this is an investigation material," he said.

Meanwhile, Tubagus said the investigation process in this case had not been completed after his party named three suspects. Investigators are still gathering evidence to determine the existence of a suspect in Articles 187 and 188 of the Criminal Code.

"For Articles 187 and 188 of the Criminal Code, other evidence is still needed so that the suspects announced today are suspects who meet the elements of Article 359 of the Criminal Code. Meanwhile, articles 187 and 188 investigators in the case still need evidence. We can finish everything this week," said Tubagus.
