S'porean escapes from Bali jail<\/p>\n
DENPASAR, Bali: Bali Police chief Brig. Gen. I Wayan Ardjana
\nblamed two police officers on Tuesday for the escape of a
\ndetained Singaporean national from the Denpasar District Court
\nholding cells.<\/p>\n
\"How could they (the police officers) allow the detainee to
\nleave the cells and let him walk around without being watched.
\nThese officers are really stupid,\" Ardjana said as quoted by
\nAntara.<\/p>\n
The detainee was named as Erlin Anthony Richard, 39, who was
\nwaiting on Monday to be brought before the court where he was
\nbeing tried on charges relating to a series of alleged swindles
\nperpetrated in the Kuta area.<\/p>\n
Richard reportedly asked permission from First Pvt. DWY and
\nFirst Pvt. KAN, to a buy a drink at a cafeteria inside the court
\ncompound, and the two officers gave him permission to do so
\nalone. Richard, however, failed to return to his cell.<\/p>\n
Ardjana said the officers involved were now being interrogated
\nto ascertain whether they had colluded in Richard's escape.<\/p>\n
Richard trial had been running since mid-April, with the
\nprosecution demanding a sentence of four-years imprisonment for
\nRichard if found guilty.<\/p>",
