JAKARTA - The family of Tangerang Class I prison prisoner, Cai Changpan, has submitted a request for the body to be returned to his hometown in China.

"Even though there has been a request from the family (the body has been sent home), we still have to wait for the investigators' decision," said Head of Forensic Installation at Kramat Jati Police Hospital, Arif Wahyono in Jakarta, reported by Antara, Friday, October 23.

Arif said that the Forensic Team was still waiting for the instructions of the Polda Metro Jaya investigators before returning Cai Changpan's body.

Since the prisoner in a drug case was reported killed by suicide in Jasinga Forest, Bogor, West Java, Saturday, October 17, said Arif, until now Cai Changpan's body is still stored in the cold room of the Police Hospital morgue.

The forensic team has completed a series of autopsy on the body. The results reported that there was a wound on the neck.

The Forensic Team has also completed examining the neck tissue, specifically the neck wound to find out when Cai Changpan died. "For the results of the neck examination have not come out, we are still waiting," he said.

The convict who was sentenced to death managed to escape from prison on September 14 by digging in the ground.

After one month of being on the run, Changpan was found dead in the Jasinga Forest under suspicion that he hanged himself.
