Warders quizzed over jailbreak

PADANG, West Sumatra: The authorities have questioned two
warders in connection with the escape of two inmates from
Maninjau Prison.

Head of the West Sumatra Ministry of Justice office Ali Amran
Djanah said the authorities wanted to find out if the warders had
colluded with the prisoners.

Ali said the fugitives' whereabouts are still unknown and
various law enforcement officers are continuing to search for
them.

The fugitives have been named as Siddik, 51, a farmer serving
eight years for rape, and Darlius Djoko, 36, a driver who got
four years for eloping.

The convicts scaled the penitentiary's 3.5-meter walls after
diverting warders' attention. (32/01)
