Law and Human Rights Minister Amir Syamsuddin said that lax security could be blamed for the escape of a militant serving a 19-year prison sentence for beheading three Christian schoolgirls in Poso, Central Sulawesi.
Amir said that the Ampana Penitentiary, where the terror convict Basri was held, only dispatched one prison guard to watch over the convict while he was visiting his sick wife.
“There was only one guard. This is below the standard,” Amir said as quoted by tribunnews.com.
He said that officials from the ministry, in collaboration with the local police, have launched a manhunt for Basri.
Basri, who was arrested along with five other militants in February 2007, admitted to beheading one of the three girls in late 2005 as they walked to school along a quiet jungle path overlooking Poso.
