"These detainees sawed through the iron bars of the cell and escaped by jumping over the wall from the police station area," said Makassar Metropolitan  Police Chief, Senior Superintendent Mokh. Ngajib, on Sunday (24/3/2024), as reported by antaranews.com. The detainees, identified as MIA (21), MRA (29), and S (23), fled during the early hours of  11 March 2024, exploiting a moment of quietness at the police office.

The authorities located them at a hideout on Balang Turungan Street in Biringkanaya District, Makassar City, and re-arrested  them. Chief Ngajib emphasized the importance of the investigation, revealing that the detainees confessed to using a saw to cut through the iron bars before jumping over the station's wall. Mariso Police Chief, Senior Inspector I Wayan Suanda, confirmed ongoing efforts to determine who provided the saw to the detainees. (mg/inp/prnm)
