DOK VOI

JAKARTA - The police stated that the reason for not naming the head of the Tangerang Class I prison as a suspect in the fire case was because there was not enough evidence. In the case of the Tangerang prison fire tragedy, six people have become suspects.

"Determining the suspect must be in accordance with the evidence and according to his capacity," said Director of General Crime Investigation of the Metro Jaya Police, Kombes Tubagus Ade Hidayat, to reporters, Wednesday, September 29.

According to Tubagus, investigators have investigated the alleged elements of negligence to intent as set out in Articles 359, 188, and 187 of the Criminal Code. However, there is no strong evidence to prove that it was intentional.

However, the possibility of increasing the number of suspects, including the Head of the Police Headquarters, Victor Teguh Prihartono, could still occur. Because the investigation is still ongoing.

"Is it possible for something to happen based on the results of the investigation," he said.

The police only emphasized that in the process of determining the suspect, said Tubagus, his party would be careful and thorough. Because, everything must be with a strong basis and can be proven legally.

"We are very careful in determining people as suspects before it is proven from the form of the organization and the form of accountability. We are not playing games because this involves the law," said Tubagus.

Previously reported, the police again named three suspects in the Tangerang Class I prison fire case. They are inmates to prison officials.

The suspects are inmates with the initials JMN. Then, a prison employee with the initials PPB and RS who served in the General Section.

With this determination, currently six people have been named as suspects. Because, previously the police also named three suspects behind the deadly fire at the Class I prison in Tangerang. The suspects are prison employees.

The three suspects had the initials RU, S, and Y. The determination of these suspects was based on the results of a case title with dozens of witnesses and evidence. In that case, they were proven to have violated Article 359 of the Criminal Code regarding negligence causing death.
