'Prosecutors not involved in suspect's escape: Police<\/p>\n
Jakarta Police chief Insp. Gen. Makbul Padmanagara announced on
\nWednesday that the police had exonerated three prosecutors after
\nan investigation into their suspected involvement in the foiled
\nescape attempt of murder suspect Gunawan Santosa.<\/p>\n
\"The North Jakarta prosecutors have been found not to have
\nbeen involved in the escape attempt,\" he said.<\/p>\n
Previously, the city police declared the three as suspects for
\ndereliction of duty when escorting Gunawan on March 30 on the way
\nfrom Salemba prison to the North Jakarta District Court, where he
\nwas standing trial for the murder of PT Arena Sarana Bakti boss
\nBoedyharto Angsono, who was also his former father-in-law.<\/p>\n
Later during the press conference, Makbul said the police had
\ndeclared three other people as suspects in the escape attempt --
\nYoris and Mamat, inmates of the penitentiary, and Yudi, an ex-
\nconvict who was to have arranged Gunawan's flight to freedom if
\nthe escape attempt had succeeded.<\/p>\n
As for the smuggling of the .32 mm caliber Beretta pistol into
\nthe penitentiary, the city police have declared another three
\npeople as suspects -- Harun alias Haris, who illegally sold the
\ngun for Rp 11 million (US$1,300); Ubay, who acted as the
\nmiddlemen between Harun and Gunawan; and Gunawan's mother Mulyati
\nSantosa, who helped Gunawan smuggle the pistol inside a speaker.<\/p>\n
\"Gunawan, through an as yet unidentified party, delivered the
\nloud speaker to his mother's house, saying that the speaker was
\nout-of-order and he needed to be repaired. His mother later
\nsecreted the pistol inside the speaker,\" Makbul added.<\/p>\n
He said that he did not know how the speaker could have so
\neasily been taken in and out of Gunawan's prison cell. -- JP<\/p>",
