Another Bojong escapee nabbed

JAKARTA: Jajang Suparman, who escaped last week with six other detainees from Bojong Police detention center, was rearrested over the weekend in Garut, West Java, by a joint team from Depok Police and local police.

The arrest was made after a tip-off from the fugitive's family, Jakarta Police spokesman Sr. Comr. Tjiptono said on Monday.

Earlier, two fugitives, identified as Muhammad Rizki and Yosep alias Asep, were recaptured in Rangkas Bitung, West Java, while another identified as Muchsin was rearrested in Gambir, Central Jakarta.

Together with Kamaruzaman alias Manan, Ricky Bachri alias Ricky, and Hermansyah alias Lolo, they managed to escape from their cell at around 4 a.m. last Sunday through a hole they dug for days using spoons and forks. -- JP
