KZN cops rearrest one more escaped prisoner, 15 still at large
While the search continues for the remaining awaiting trial inmates who escaped, KwaZulu-Natal natal police have rearrested one more suspect bringing the total number of those at large to 15.
About 31 of 45 trial awaiting prisoners initially escaped from a police truck in Pietermaritzburg on Wednesday after a group of heavily armed men overpowered two police officers transporting the inmates from a correctional facility to a local magistrates court.
The suspects pointed guns at the cops and forced them to open the rear of the truck.
“This morning, a multi-disciplinary intelligence-driven operation led to the arrest of Thubelihle Dlomo who was arrested for murder. He was rearrested at 1 am this morning in the KwaDukuza area. We are still tracking the movements of the remaining 15 awaiting trial prisoners that are still on the run,” said KwaZulu-Natal police Spokesperson Jay Naicker.
