However, Victor did not speak much when he was asked about the examination agenda.

Separately, the Head of Public Relations of the Polda Metro Jaya Kombes Yusri Yunus said that in the scheduled examination, at least seven people would be questioned today. However, only two people arrived at the investigator's room.

"Two of the new arrivals, the Head of Administration and the Head of Administration from the Tangerang Class I Prison," said Yusri.

Meanwhile, the Tangerang Class I Prison caught fire on Wednesday, September 8, in the early hours of the morning. As a result, 44 inmates died due to the incident.

Dozens of prisoners were not able to save themselves. Because when the fire broke out, the prison cell was locked. While the officers did not have time to open the cells of the victims.
