However, due to holidays, officers took a long time to come to the prison.

“It turns out that due to the holiday, it took a long time to go to the office, which resulted in the impatience of the Riau Police team. This is not to blame too, because they waited too long, so they were annoyed and left prison,” said Alfonsus.
