JAKARTA: At least 41 people were killed in Indonesia after a fire broke out at a prison on the outskirts of the capital Jakarta.
The blaze broke out in the wee hours of Wednesday at Tangerang jail, when most of the prisoners were asleep.
There were a total of 122 inmates staying in Block C – the prison block that was affected – far more than the 40-person capacity.
The block housed inmates held for drug-related offences. Dozens more are said to be injured, with some in the ICU.
