Apparently the young siblings had been often delivering food to the prison for their brother, who was behind bars for a sexual abuse case.
Initially police suspected that the mother was responsible for making the brothers smuggle in the meth. “However, once we understood better, it looks like the father is the alleged perpetrator,” Bambang Gede Harta of the Badung Poolice Narcotics Unit.
Regarding the status of the minors themselves, Harta says they are not detained and their mother has been designated a witness.
On the inside, Kerobokan Prison authority Sudjonggo says the prison itself will wait for the results of the investigation of the inmate’s family and depending on the results will coordinate with the police for further investigation inside.
“So far, security still relies on manual inspection. This is certainly not optimal. It would be nice if other than manual inspection, X-Ray and other detectors were available,” Sudjonggo said, probably hoping the government officials in charge of prison budgeting would read his quotes.
