Four prisoners escape in Lampung

BANDAR LAMPUNG, Lampung: Four prisoners escaped from the
Rajabasa prison early Thursday, a press report stated yesterday.

Prison officials said the convicts escaped after they broke
through the ceiling and clambered over the prison's walls using
strips of their sarongs.

They were identified as Subagyo bin Mario, 41, doing 15 years
for murder; Suparno, 39, two years for robbery; Giman bin
Kasidin, 49, 12 years for robbery; and Seni bin Bakir, 43, eight
years for robbery.

Chief of the Lampung justice office, B.J. Mathaus, said the
escapees managed to evade 15 on-duty prison guards, Antara
reported.

They were thought to have escaped at about 3 a.m., shortly
after prison guards had carried out an inspection. The 15 prison
guards, who were caught off-guard, have been questioned. (pan)
