Acting Head of Jambi Prison Junaidi Rison said in this case six people had been named as suspects. However, regarding the identities of the suspects, the prisons have not informed the public. "For that I have not been able to convey it because I am afraid that it will interfere with the investigation process and also the realm of Jambi police investigators," he said in Jambi, Wednesday, October 11, which was confiscated by Antara.
