Two individuals have been arrested, they are believed to be the owner and supervisor of the factory. FMTNews

Investigators worked on the scene of a burnt-out house to establish a cause of the fire.

Local police chief Nugroho Tri Nuryanto told AFP the pair were being investigated for “negligence” and could face up to five years in prison. Victims trapped inside could not escape because the front door was locked, and the fire spread quickly because most of the house structures were made of wood. “We are still investigating why children were allowed to be in such dangerous place and why the door was locked,” he said adding police suspected the factory was operating illegally because the suspects could not provide any documents to prove the factory has the necessary permits.
